Opplet

Opplet (Russian: Оплёт; hereinafter, the Software) is user management software, which is integrated through API with authorization and authentication systems.

Core interfaces

User interface

Main wikipage: Opplet.net

Opplet.net is the Software's user interface (UI) that is supported by CNM Cloud.

Application interface

An OpenLDAP instance is used as the core application interface.

Special plug-ins

Several software plug-ins have been written specifically for the Software.

OpenLDAP/Wikiware connector

A software plug-in is written specifically to connect an authorization plug-in of OpenLDAP and those versions of MediaWiki starting with version 1.27 that are used in CNM Wikiware.

Wikiware API

A software plug-in is written specifically to provide CNM Wikiware with API that will allow the Software changing user rights in CNM Wikiware such as add to a group, remove from the group, etc.

Courseware-to-Opplet

3. module braid for working with a sudl, which processes information transmitted by the muddle and adds / removes braid and LDAP from / to the group (already developed, requires testing)

Opplet-to-Wikiware

4. module braid for working with a wiki, which will give data to the wiki to change rights (already developed, requires testing)

Opplet-to-Courseware

5. plugin muddle for transmitting data about the end of the course in braid (already developed, being tested) but most importantly, I don’t touch the core of systems anywhere, that is, we can update without problems.

as a result, we use the Moodle plugin for communication, two Wiki plugins and two braided modules (which use the module for communicating with LDAP) It sounds quite difficult, but it should work stably, for verification I am also going to make a rights verification module in different systems.

OpenStack (future extension)

The Software shall be integrated with the native OpenStack Keystone authorization system of OpenStack using the output on the LDAP protocol.

Keystone is an OpenStack's Identity API. It supports LDAP, OAuth, OpenID Connect, SAML and SQL. ... [Keystone] does not actually implement any user-management functions; rather, it provides plug-in interfaces so that organizations can leverage their current authentication services.
