Sammanfattning
The process of identifying a user’s identity in a system is called authentication. This
process requires high security and a user-friendly interface, since the authentication
system is often the first section of a service a user encounters. The scope of this
project is to implement an independent authentication service for QBIS. QBIS is a
project- and time-management product and owned by QLogic AB. A majority of
the project consisted of researching what leading authentication systems were available
on the market that fulfill QBIS’ requirements and selecting one to implement
with QBIS’ systems. The project’s scope also included the implementation of a
REST API including automated documentation for QBIS’ web services. The open
source authentication project IdentityServer4 was selected and implemented. The
implemented authentication service offers most functionalities that QBIS offers today.
The product was not launched since it needs further development, but much of
the structure and design was implemented. A REST API connected to QBIS’ web
services was implemented alongside automated documentation on its methods. Consumers
of the API are able to authenticate themselves with the new authentication
system. There were many factors that went into the decision of which authentication
service to implement including licensing, pricing, functionalities, maintenance
and familiarity. The project in its entirety is the majority of the journey towards
an independent authentication and authorization server with expansion of current
features to be implemented.
