About the project:
The Central Bank of Russia implements monetary policy, with its primary objective being to ensure and maintain financial and price stability, and to promote the development of a competitive financial market.
Since 2019, the implementation of the Blitz Identity Provider has facilitated seamless domain authentication for Central Bank of Russia employees and contracting organizations. The system allows access to over 10 technological applications, used by more than 10,000 users.
Implementation:
3 months.
Project objective:
Provide seamless domain authentication (Kerberos) for users in web applications used for the development, testing, operation, and maintenance of custom developments for the Central Bank of Russia by various contracting organizations.
Key results:
With the Blitz Identity Provider authentication server integration, seamless domain authentication for employees accessing applications has been ensured. Moreover:
- Through the advanced capabilities of the Blitz Identity Provider, we’ve achieved a seamless domain authentication process, enabling employees to effortlessly access applications without repeated logins.
- We’ve streamlined user experience by introducing Web Single Sign-On. This means users can authenticate once and gain access to multiple applications without the need to log in multiple times.
- Our authentication server comes with flexible integration options. Whether it’s using the standard SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect 1.0, or the web-proxy connection methods, we’ve made sure that applications can be easily integrated, catering to diverse technological needs.
- Beyond traditional login methods, we’ve incorporated state-of-the-art authentication via smart cards and USB digital signature keys, enhancing security and ensuring that only authorized individuals can access critical systems.
