Technology and innovation evolve rapidly, and businesses are trying to adopt these market trends at a faster pace. Identity and access management is the core security walls of every organization, it’s critical for IT teams to upgrade their identity and authentication system with advanced features to patch up vulnerabilities in the infrastructure.  

In this success story, you can discover how our identity experts upgraded the client’s legacy authentication system to OAuth 2.0 by slashing the dependencies on custom-built files. The best part about our transformation solution is we have migrated the SOAP driver to REST without any impact on the web services.  

 

Get to know the client & their business challenges!

Our client is the world’s leading Clinical Research Organization (CRO), offering clinical development and integrated consulting expertise at optimal cost. They aim at shaping next-generation therapies by leveraging real-world insights.

The client wanted to assess their existing identity infrastructure and upgrade their identity management system with best practices. We stepped forward and analyzed their existing drivers that are leveraged to send & receive web service requests. These web services are critical as they are used to manage the user lifecycle in an application. As these drivers had dependencies with custom files & legacy authentication systems, they opened the doors for vulnerabilities in the endpoint. Further, these drivers are slow and consume more effort, resources, and bandwidth on the creation and sending of XML requests.

So, the client decided to proceed with our best practice recommendations of upgrading their drivers with best practices to enhance their security posture.

The client reached out to the AVASOFT team!

Our solution to the client with the IAM Transformation service!

AVASOFT team connected with clients and understood their business requirements. We recommended the driver migration to modernize their authentication system with orchestrated application infrastructure.

  • Our team analyzed the existing application architecture and recommended the best possible solutions by leveraging OAuth 2.0 with lightweight communication.
  • We recommended migrating the SOAP driver to REST for its compatibility with various authentication methods such as OAuth 2.0. In addition, the REST driver can independently connect with endpoints without any custom files.
  • We changed the input format from XML to JSON for the effortless formation of service requests with the help of key-value pairs.
  • We stepped forward to implement the best practice of maintaining logs for different drivers that consume API endpoints. This slashed their efforts in terms of troubleshooting the bugs.
  • Right from migrating their legacy authentication system to OAuth 2.0 and orchestrating their driver requests to independent architecture, our experts implemented the best possible identity solutions.

 

Business gains for the client

  • The client experienced flexibility, scalability, and enhanced security in terms of their authentication system by migrating to the REST driver with minimal resources.
  • The JSON web service requests slashed their efforts to a greater extent.
  • With our API log management practices, the team could resolve the vulnerabilities in their web service with minimal effort.
  • They had no more hassles of interdependencies in web service drivers and framing complex XML requests.
