Covisint Developer Architecture

Covisint Developer is the provisioning and configuration engine of the Covisint Platform. It provides a foundation for developers to build highly scalable and robust applications.

Application developers can use the Covisint Developer Solution Center UI to perform the following tasks:

• Manage users, roles, and access to the Solution Center
• Create/Delete application runtimes
• Orchestrate application deployments

The UX development can be done using the Covisint Portal Framework based on Liferay. Developers can write/deploy JSR compliant portlets. The PaaS layer comprises two sets of services: Identity Services and Messaging Services.

Identity Services encompasses three components:

• ID Authenticator - Validates, verifies, and authenticates a user's identity
  • ID/Password
  • Two-Factor
  • Risk-based Authentication
  • Policy Enforcement
• ID Provision - Manages, and authorizes user accounts for access to appropriate digital resources.
  • Password Management
  • Provisioning
  • Profile Management
  • Authorization Management
  • Role Management
  • Workflow Engine
• ID Broker - Manages and configures federations
  • Security Token Service
  • Federation Protocols
  • Token Translation and Attribute Mapping

With Messaging services, you can integrate and aggregate complex information and data to achieve a dynamic, automated business workflow environment. The key features of the messaging services are:

• Ability to create communication channel
• Use XSLT transformation
• Pre-built custom processes
