Open source integration project

Open source integration project details

Our customer, Nomura Research Institute (NRI), Japan, a leading Japanese system integrator, needed a solution in the field of Identity Management.

The main project goal was to create a bridge between OpenID and OpenSSO, in other words to provide OpenID 2.0 compliant functionally using single sign-on as authentication backend.

Single Sign-On (SSO) is a method of access control that enables a user to log in once and gain access to the resources of multiple software systems without being prompted to log in again.

OpenID is a shared identity service, which allows users to log on to many different sites using a single digital identity, eliminating the need for a different user name/password.

Solution

Softage experts have successfully approached the problem.

We identified an Open source library supporting OpenID 2.0 - OpenID4Java suitable for project purposes.

Softage experts analyzed the library and prepared a detailed testing plan and software architecture documentation.

Our specialists have performed thorough testing according to OpenID 2.0 specification. As a result, a number of code defects was found and corrected.

After that, our specialists have developed missing functionality to achieve full compliance to OpenID 2.0 specification.
