Setting up Single Sign On (SSO)
From v2024.1 Care Partner supports Active Directory integration. Having this integration configured allows for more robust security measures to be adopted by Care Partner. A desired outcome is also to allow shared or third party services the ability to manage access to Care Partner a without having direct access to Care Partner’s sensitive information.
For customers looking to implement this feature, please contact us via the Jira helpdesk portal to find out more.
The below technical information provides a brief summary of how this can be achieved.
Technical Overview
To achieve an integration between Active Directory and Care Partner, Imosphere has developed a solution that works as a go between called Atmodentity.
The intention is that there will be one Active Directory group which will house all ‘approved’ Care Partner users. Atmodentity will use this group to authenticate against. Active Directory accounts that aren’t part of this group will not be processed by Atmodentity (e.g. no user or staff member creation).
Atmodentity will be used to handle the authentication of users not the authorisation. Authorisation will be manually handled within Care Partner as per existing local processes.
When integrating Care Partner and Active Directory for the first time, email addresses linked to Care Partner’s ‘staff members’ will be used to link to Active Directory accounts. A one-time email will be sent to the email account to verify the person. The one-time email address is domain configurable to allow through NHS firewall filtering.
