evaluate single-sign on (SSO) for ImmPort #36

Open graybeal opened 7 years ago

graybeal commented 7 years ago

Right now, there's no association between CEDAR submitters and ImmPort logins. Is there any need for that association (assuming we'll have a pipeline for metadata submission to ImmPort)?
Other questions: Will ImmPort manage authentications on an individual basis (for other API users)? Will NIH even allow our authentications to be adequate for ImmPort authentication? Will any data that we could handle be non-PHI data, or is all of it PHI?

The goal would be to simplify the user experience, to avoid multiple sign-ons. Since there are NIH policy issues involved, the cost-benefit analysis may suggest that asking them for the ImmPort information in order to obtain a token.
