Abstract

Currently, OpenMRS uses a custom-developed mechanism for authentication & authorization. Some implementers of OpenMRS may want to use their own authentication system instead -- for example, to use a single-sign on (SSO) system between OpenMRS and another system used in an organization.

Project Champions

  • TBD

Objectives

  • Create abstraction for the authentication process
  • Create a proof of concept where a user can authenticate using external entity

Extra Credit

  • TBD

    this is a great way to make it flexible for users. But I think we need to have some benchmark authentication. Because if let the users lower the guard. It might heavily damage the security aspect. Just a thought. Hope you have considered it too.

    I would like to take on this project. How should I proceed with this? Are there any documentation related with the custom authorization & authentication methods?

    I am highly interested to take up on this project. Even recently SSO was implemented in our college. I am gathering idea about the same. I need to know about this project in detail. Awaiting for the resources. (smile)
