ABSTRACT

The era of information and big data changes the way people live, work and think. Many Information systems are integrated together to fulfill various management and service purposes in a specific zone like a campus. But along with different systems, the question of insecurity, inconvenience, and inconsistence in identity authentication arise. We are faced with the same question when building and integrating different systems of security protection, personnel and car management, electric power and energy systems monitoring based on internet of things, cloud computing. To solve this, a unified identity authentication management system is proposed, designed and fulfilled. In the system, issues of unified identity authentication, account management, access authorization, access audit, security management and Single sign-on are well considered and handled. Among identity authentication mode, USB key, soft certificate, LDAP authentication mode, AD domain, dynamic and static password, shared authentication and radius authentication methods are designed to satisfy different authentication needs of various applications underneath. Besides, the unified identity authentication management system provides an authentication interface. The newly developed application system can integrate with it by calling the authentication interface. The characteristics of application independence, high Security and reliability, scalability, cross-platform feature is included in system accomplishing.
