Open source integration project

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 different user names and passwords.

 

Solution

 

Softage experts approached the problem by identifying an Open source library supporting OpenID 2.0 - OpenID4Java suitable for the project 's purposes.

 

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

 

Our specialists performed thorough testing according to the 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.
