Abstract

The department “organization and information technology” (OIT) of the Faculty of Medicine of the “Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München” introduced a system to centrally manage user accounts and security during the last two years. The initial state was that we had several user directories for different services, resulting in high operating expense. We describe the aims, the concepts, the techniques, the realization and the difficulties we had introducing a central user directory. The new central user directory covers not only authentication, but also authorization in the connected subsystems. The following subsystems are connected: Windows logon, Email and Calendaring, various intranet services like medical documentation system, diagnostic findings of clinical chemistry or radiology, remote access to Email and Calendaring via a firewall, RADIUS and last but not least logging on to SAP, which is our ERP (enterprise resource planning system).
