DEVELOPMENT OF AN IDENTITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING SINGLE SIGN ON WITH THE CENTRAL AUTHENTICATION SERVICE METHOD

Abstract

This paper discusses the implementation of a method for single sign on (SSO) by using
Central Authentication Service (CAS) and MySQL in a Web portal environment.
Department of Informatics Faculty of Engineering Langlangbuana Univesity possessed
a variety of web-based applications to support the academic activities, including web
application libraries, application of laboratory management, and academic
information systems. All access to these applications each needs a unique user
authentication for each user. This will cause the user login process many times. Single
Sign On technologies provide convenience to the user to authenticate. Users only need
to do a one-time login for access to all existing applications. Users do not have to
memorize numerous accounts, only one account and not have to repeatedly login, one
single login is enough. It can also simplify user data in organizing existing data
security, so that the user is more secure, because it uses centralized user data storage.
CAS used to handle communication problems between different web applications, so all
the applications can be integrated into a Web portal. MySQL is used as data storage,
where all user data stored in a MySQL database.
