UNIT Enheten för IT-stöd Codex Swedish higher education CODe EXchange (CODEX) All Nordic higher education institutions are welcomed (and some others too). Share ideas and gain information! Most universities has a “portal” of some kind – mostly homegrown
UNIT Enheten för IT-stöd Codex Four universities has formed a ”task force” to build a common framework for uPortal implementations at the universities. The universities are: Chalmers, Linköping, Stockholm and Umeå. LPW – Ladok on the Web SPOCP – Authentication and authorization LiUPass – Authentication and Single-Sign-On (Plus also evaluate CAS and Pubcookie)
UNIT Enheten för IT-stöd Codex LPW – Ladok on the Web is a “middleware” to access data in the Swedish national student documentation system – LADOK. LPW – SOAP (XML/HTTP) interface. Written in Java. Most Swedish universities will sooner or later use LPW-services.
UNIT Enheten för IT-stöd Codex SPOCP - SPOCP (is short for Simple Policy Control Project) is a cooperative project whose task is to provide the partners with software for authentication and authorization services. The partners are 5 Swedish universities (Karolinska Institutet, Lunds Universitet, Stockholms Universitet, Umeå Universitet and Uppsala Universitet) and Uninett, the Norwegian National Research Network. The project started informally May 10, 2002, and is planned to end on May 31, It follows a feasibility study done between August 2001 and March The open source site is the software is currently available at ftp://ftp.su.se/pub/spocp
UNIT Enheten för IT-stöd Codex SPOCP uses S-expressions to form the rules for the authorization. There are hooks to retrieve data from external sources. Interfaces to several programming languages – Java, Perl etc…
UNIT Enheten för IT-stöd Codex LiUPass is a Single-Sign-On system that can be hooked in to uPortal and other applications (like Achievo (a PHP-app)). It provides a 75% SSO with SunOne Mail/Calender (ie SunOne trusts the cookies from LiUPass but LiUPass can not yet use SunOne cookies).
UNIT Enheten för IT-stöd Codex We expect to publish our results on a Sourceforge similar system. This will be our Project-portal. Code will be available! All four universities has agreed to put information on most system development projects in the project-portal.
