Implementación de un Servicio Centralizado de Gestión de Identidades y Control de Acceso de usuarios en aplicaciones web para la Carrera de Ingeniería en Sistemas/Computación de la UNL: SmartLab

The use of web applications has undergone significant changes in recent years, which has had a direct impact on user authentication. This evolution has led users to be confronted with the management of multiple identifiers and associated passwords, which is cumbersome and impractical. Faced with this challenge, in the Systems/Computing career, the need arose to implement a centralized identity management and access control service, in order to simplify user administration tasks, improve security measures and allow single sign-on in the different web applications it has. For the development of this Degree Project a sequence of 3 phases was followed, in the first phase, an investigation was carried out to evaluate and select an Open Source tool for identity management and access control in web applications, obtaining the Aerobase Server tool as the most appropriate because its characteristics are adapted to the needs required in the career. For the second phase, which was the integration of Aerobase with the web applications of the career, the work environments in production were replicated to a local environment and the proper configurations were made both in Aerobase Server and in the other replicated applications; later, once the applications were correctly integrated locally, the configurations made were replicated in production, achieving the integration of these. In the third phase, tests were planned and executed to evaluate several aspects of the integration and especially the performance of the centralized service in the career servers, obtaining an efficient performance and favorable acceptance by the career users. Finally, the implementation of a centralized identity management and access control service for web applications proved to be an effective and necessary solution for a more reliable management, ensuring precise control from authorization to authentication; moreover, by centralizing identity management and access control, a solid foundation was laid for the security and integrity of users, while boosting innovation in the development of web applications. Keywords: Centralized Authentication, Identity Management, Access Control, IAM, Aerobase Server.
