1. For integration with Aptify/Sitefinity
RACP Systems
For integration with Aptify/Sitefinity

2. Overview 2 systems exist to manage members data
Australia – CAS (College Administration System)
NZ – WhichDoctor
A System exists to replicate data between the two – ISB (Information Service Bus)
Members’ authentication and role details stored in Novell e-Directory
Staff authentication and role details stored in Active Directory
Single Sign On – used to share members’ web sessions across all web based systems

3. Current Administration Systems
College Administration System (CAS)
based in C++ / .Net 1.1, over 10 years old
Contains details about Australian members
Current Integration is via database queries and stored procedures
Whichdoctor
Based in Java, open source, about 5 years old
Contains details about NZ members
Current Integration is via web services and the ISB

4. Information Services Bus (ISB)
Used to replicate data between AU and NZ systems
NZ writes to the system via web services
System pulls information from AU via database queries
Members’ authentication and role membership is posted to e-Directory from this system

5. Directories Novell e-Directory Active Directory
Stores member Auth. information
Role membership is stored in a custom field
Directory roles are calculated dynamically using rules based on custom field
Users are managed via ISB
Active Directory
Stores staff Auth. Information
Users are managed manually by help desk

6. Single Sign On (SSO) JASIG CAS Single Sign on Directories
Java, open source
Open standard for SSO protocol
Widely supported in applications within the educational space
Directories
Are configured to connect using LDAP
An RACP custom module has been created to connect via web services

7. Legacy Systems College Website MyCPD Moodle AT/BT Registration
Allows members to change password
Allows members to change address details (sends for manual update)
MyCPD
Allows members to keep track of their CPD points
Relies on CAS for fellowship status and validity information
Moodle
Allows trainees to interact with their supervisors and the college
Relies on CAS and Whichdoctor for training information and eligibility
AT/BT Registration
Allows non-members to register for Basic Training (BT)
Allows BT trainees to register for specialised Advanced Training (AT)
After registration, details are checked manually
Relies on CAS for eligibility to register
ATSM (Advanced Training Selection & matching)
Matches trainees to hospitals before advanced training begins (or application can be lodged)
Relies on CAS for exam results information
All rely on CAS SSO for session management

8. Proposed Integration with Aptify
Authentication
Aptify will need to provide a method to validate authentication details
Authorisation
Aptify will need to expose a list of groups that the member is applicable to, and also a list of members for each group
An ability to dynamically calculate groups based on flexible criteria would be preferred.
Data
Aptify will need to be able to push core member data (name(s), address, , phone) when a member is updated
All replicated entities will need GUID fields
Person, , phone, address

9. Integration Services
An RACP project has already been created for integration
Allows flexibility so that service calls do not need to change in other systems when one is changed
Allows data updates to be organised sequentially and managed in case of failure/exceptions
Allows authentication and authorisation data to be managed centrally
Documentation for these services has been forwarded to Aptify (Architecture technical specification)
