- Status = In Progress
- Sponsor = Joe Panora (CDCR)
- Acknowledgements CDCR/EIS, CPHCS, PIA, O-Tech, Microsoft, Burton Group, EMC
Challenges
Duplicative multiple access methods
No common authentication and authorization policy across account forests within an agency
No directory synchronization process for the enterprise -- State, Agency, or Department level
Simple list infrastructure sharing cannot occur for cross-organizational collaboration
Synchronization and ability to move to single sign on cannot occur
Consistent account conventions are currently not feasible
Need to get out of the business of application based-authentication and authorization
Intended Outcomes
Creating a single account domain for the Agency
Creating a governance structure at the Agency level that can be leveraged across the state
Consolidated authentication and authorization architecture
Centralized and consistent employee provisioning capabilities
Scalable architecture at the various agencies
Readiness to join the larger state wide initiative
