As part of my work at CGI, I participated in the creation of a web application to allow external users to McGill to create accounts to access multiple McGill`s systems.

McGill needed a system that can connect to multiple web applications with a local account, LDAP, OpenID, and others. That is why they chose to use CAS which allows using many different accounts services.

Responsibilities:

• Manage and follow tasks for the team.
• Create files for the installation of the database, configuration and the package to deploy.
• Deploying the application to the test environment.
• Guide and answer questions from testers.

• Login system
  • Customizing the CAS software.
  • Integration of design in HTML and CSS.
  • Create a basic configuration to allow users to connect to a local database and internal users at McGill.
• User management system in the local database
  • Grails application.
  • Integration of design in HTML and CSS.
  • Secure access to the application using Spring security.
  • Administration section
    • View users and enable / disable them.
    • Make a search in events (audit).
  • Create account section
    • Registration.
    • Forgot password mechanism.
  • My account section
    • Edit our name, email and password.
• Create daily maintenance jobs activated by a web service call.
• Allow to login with different Spring Security “providers” depending on the accessed page.
  • According to the page, LDAP or CAS is used.
  • The login pages are different depending on the case.
