Overview
Our client is an integrated health system headquartered in the Dakotas. Being the largest employer of Dakotas, our client offers rural, not-for-profit health care system in its nation with numerous hospitals and clinics different states and countries.
Requirements
- To make the LDAP authentication service a central part of the systems authentication.
- To create a round trip IMAP setup that utilizes both email client and OpenERP to communicate through a postfix/dovecot inbox.The goal is to host 100% of our application structure on a single domain.
- LDAP as the central authentication for the network
- OpenERP accounts automatically add and update LDAP accounts (OpenERP acts as frontend).
- LDAP contains username, email, name, password (SHA1). Dovecot inbox is automatically available based on the new LDAP user.
- When OpenERP or an email client (outlook, thunderbird) attempt to connect via IMAPS, the server will use LDAP to authenticate the account.
- Users will have the ability to change their password via OpenERP and PHP apps, this will automatically update the LDAP info and update this info across all platforms.
- CAS will be the single sign-on service for the OpenERP and PHP applications. CAS needs authentication against LDAP for all account logins. Single sign-on tokens are valid for 1 week.
- Staff will manually create a inbound and outbound server for the new user accounts.
- Inbound / Outbound email servers are connected to a user account similar to HR employees.
- By clicking test or save, the account is authenticated through LDAP and a new Dovecot inbox is created. If a dovecot account is already present, the test and save button will authenticate correctly. The user account will only use it’s associated inbound and outbound email servers to send mail.
- Add a “Send and Receive” button on the messages module in OpenERP to allow users to manually fetch email for just their associated account. A fetch for a single user’s email would happen during ? Messages page load ? Send & Receive button is clicked ? On a time loop (once every 3 minutes) when idle on the messages page. The timed loop to pull new messages will stop if a user is interacting with the page.
CHALLENGES
- A single action of user authentication and authorization had to permit access of systems, documents, information which are allowed as per the Role based access, without the need to enter multiple passwords.
- Single sign-on reduces human error, a major component of systems failure and which is therefore highly desirable but difficult to implement.
- With huge amount of customer fitness information updated by trainers and customers authentication of these updates was to be done.
- With involvement of Fitness trainers, Coaches, Business development as well as operation managers from various department & companies it was important to have authorized communication which had to be from specific users mail credentials only.
