Case study #5

Integrating with MS Active Directory

Integrating Ethicontrol Platform with MS Active Directory

Introduction

An agriculture client from Ukraine has been using MS Active Directory and asked us to integrate Ethicontrol login services with it.

Challenge

At that point of time, we did not use MS Azure and MS Azure Active directory. Furthermore, MS Active Directory is known for issues when dealing with Linux based systems. Ethicontrol is run on Linux based servers.

Key features

Ectrl_final-1
Whistleblowing portal and case management
tariff_new-3
Advanced customisation
12_version_3
Single sign-on
Settings icon for Compliance (1)

 

Integrations

Solution

We leveraged a third-party Ruby on Rails API for Active Directory which allowed to securely connect both applications.

We also set additional security checks making sure that the client’s admins will not be able to compromise Ethicontrol login by granting excessive rights to users.

Benefit

The client received an integration that was not agreed upon or discussed during the first two years of the contract. Ethicontrol grows together with the client’s needs.

Result

Seamless UX for client users in terms of login. Better security for users aligned with corporate policies and applications.
