The topic

In the security contest, we encourage developers to share the solutions that show how to perform security tasks related to InterSystems IRIS and InterSystems IRIS for Health. We invite you to contribute apps that will reveal tasks related to the Authentication and Authorization parts of the InterSystems Security Model.

Such tasks could be:

• OAuth/OpenID/SAML/LDAP Authentication implementations.
• PKI implementations
• Access Management to certain parts of a REST API: application-level security, role/user-level security.
• Access Management to data: on a database, table, column, or row-level access.
• Access to interoperability components
• Access to IRIS BI components: cubes, pivots, dashboards etc.
• DevOps questions of authorization (users, roles, resources) and authentication (OAuth) settings.
• Developer and support tools related to authentication and authorization.
• Your idea!

Requirements:

1. Accepted applications: new to Open Exchange apps or existing ones, but with a significant improvement. Our team will review all applications before approving them for the contest.
2. The application should work either on IRIS Community Edition or IRIS for Health Community Edition or IRIS Advanced Analytics Community Edition.
3. The application should be Open Source and published on GitHub.
4. The README file to the application should be in English, contain the installation steps, and contain either the video demo or/and a description of how the application works.
