Stork meets OpenNCP: new developments planned

• Isabel email from Thu, 5 Jun 2014
  ++++++++++++++++++++++++

  Dear all

  Speaking in name of iUZ and Gnomon, we are pleased to inform the openNCP community that we will be conducting new technical developments to extend the openNCP and associated portal infrastructure with Stork based Authentication mechanism, to be deployed next 23rd June.

  After an initial approach at last Vienna’s Connectathon and further common discussions held during the eHealthForum 2014 event in Athens, Gnomon and iUZ have presented a Joint Proposal to the Austrian Federal Ministry of Health for the following integration of STORK with OpenNCP Liferay portal:

             1. Each country has to set up a STORK application and integrate it with national authentication mechanism;

             2. Then in OpenNCP portal, when a user needs to login he will be redirected to the STORK website instead of the embedded login portlet;

             3. The STORK website will handle the authentication and then go back to OpenNCP Liferay portal with the needed information (i.e in a SAML assertion format);

             4. The OpenNCP Portal has to trust this and proceed with the login.

   Considering that the proposal states that “User Acceptance Test and processes will be based on openNCP community methodology” and “Developed components will be made available to openNCP community under OSS licensing terms”, we would like to know if you see any inconvenience on this approach.

   Given the critical moment we are facing regarding the discussions around openNCP community sustainability, we strongly believe this approach could provide the openNCP community an opportunity to test its procedures and openness beyond epSOS project.

  ++++++++++++++++++++++++

• Questions / ACTIONS / STATEMENTS
  • Countries involved in the developments?
    • So far only industry....
    • Fredrik Linden (Unlicensed): eGovLab: engage with the OpenNCP for providing support to this kind of components;
  • Governance Model is key for having alignment from industry and other participants
  • OpenNCP Methods and tools should be used to keep everything together and aligned.
  • Heiko Zimmermann: Technically
    • How will the new developments be included in the OpenNCP code:
      • Just Liferay? will there be any  changes in other components?
        
        • At this moment only the OpenNCP Portal will receive changes.
    • Further information should be considered for assuring Stork specs full alignment.
