Active directory integration

Previously Care Partner only supported local accounts that were created within the application. Due to more robust security measures being introduced globally and within the NHS, there is a growing requirement for applications to support single sign on or integrate with Active Directory. From v2024.1, Care Partner can now be integrated with local active directory environments.

This will allow customers to:

  • Manage their Care Partner access via their active directory
  • Manage password resets via active directory
  • Follow local processes for onboarding/offboarding users

Any customers wishing to implement this feature should notify Imosphere with their intent and a member of the team will be in touch with further information and next steps.

As part of this work, other changes were made to the system

  • There is now an ‘Additional information’ field for Staff members within Admin Tools > Access management > staff. This can be used to store additional data for a person e.g. ID, department name, student status, professional qualifications etc.).

When additional information is added it will be displayed throughout the system appended to the staff members name:

  • When password reset emails are configured, the application email address can be edited to suit firewall restrictions.
