How can I create a portal where each individual member only has access to their specific files when logged in. We would like to use WordPress as the CMS. Customers can then access their own certification files instead of calling in each time they need access.

I'd like to build a .net service to sync Active Directory user details to a website database. Specifically I'm interested in details of how to configure Active Directory to push user update details when a change is made in Active Directory. eg. If a user is deactivated in Active Directory then I want to deactivate the user on the website. If a user is added to AD then I want to add the user to the website.
The website database is a completely separate repository to AD. So if, for example, a user is added to AD then the website needs all the details of the new user so it can then replicate the user's details in the website's database.
I've googled around a fair amount and haven't found any details about configuring AD to notify changes like this.
I have created several pages in my drupal website and set permissions to each of the page depending upon the roles I have.
The problem is if I know the URL, I can access that page even though I am not a registered and authorized user.
This will be a problem if some random person/hacker plays around with the URLs and comes across a page that is supposed to be viewed by an authorized user.
I am new to Drupal and any help is appreciated.
If you correctly set the permissions it will restrict access based on roles regardless if they know the URL. Are you sure that when you are testing it you are actually signed into or using a role that doesn't have access to that page?
Drupal lets you set permissions for who can Create, Edit and Delete content types. You need a contributed module for setting who can 'View' permissions of individual pages/nodes.
Download Content Access from https://drupal.org/project/content_acces. After you install it and configure the default values for the content type, you will need to click the content access tab after you create the page.
'Taxonomy Access Control Lite' is very light and more user-friendly; permissions are set within the edit view (normal fields), however, it takes some effort to understand how it works and to set it up.
See a comprehensive list of node access modules at https://drupal.org/node/270000
Tip: Don't use more than one module for node access permissions.

Through the admin page (as superuser) i added a group with permission to add/change/delete pages in addition to other permissions.
I create a user and assign the user to this group.
First of all, if i don't specify that user as staff then they can't access the admin site to login to begin with - this just doesn't make sense to me: what's the point of a user who never has the option to log in? Or is there something I'm missing - is there another way to log in besides the admin site itself.
Second, after marking that user as staff, and keeping in mind that the user is a member of group with permission to add/edit/delete pages, when the user logs in he can perform other admin tasks that he was given permissions for but still can't add/edit/delete pages. Although pages shows up as an object there is no link to the page list.
The Staff setting is to differentiate between users who are allowed to access the Django admin and users who aren't i.e. regular users who have signed up to your website via a registration form.
I had the same problem as you creating a new non-superuser user and not being able to add or edit pages as that user. It turned out that I needed to set CMS_PERMISSION = False in my settings.py.
If CMS_PERMISSION == True, you get a more fine-grained permissions framework where each page has its own list of users who are allowed to view and edit it, so permission to edit is done on a page-by-page basis (unless you're a superuser). If you don't need that functionality, I suggest you turn it off.
If you do want the more fine-grained permissions system, but you also want some users to be able to edit any page on the site, log in to django admin as a superuser and look at Cms -> Pages global permissions. From there you can give blanket edit rights to any user or group.
I'm new to wordpress and I need to create a wordpress that allow the administrators to share information and files with users (word, excel, pdf, images, etc).
Each user will have a password and the files are only shared between the user and the administrator (there's no sharing between users).
Maybe that can be accomplished with a post or page targeted for every user. The user would have to be logged to access the page/post and should be able to add content and files. That way the files and info will be only shared between that user and the admin.
Is this a correct approach or there is a better way to do it?
Thanks

I would recommend looking at the Role Manager that is built into ASP.Net starting with version 2.0. Rather than attempting to explain all the details I am providing the following How To from MSDN that will show you How To: Use Role Manager in ASP.NET 2.0.
Once you start using it you can then come back and post some more specific questions if you have any problems.
