In 2001 I started working for Johns Hopkins, primarily supporting enterprise directory efforts. In 2004 my responsibilities expanded to include:- myJH
- myJH - the Hopkins affiliate portal, serving over 60,000 Faculty, Staff, Students and Physicians. This is an uPortal 3.x installation, and one of the first 3.x deployments.
...
- Enterprise Directory - the core of our identity management toolset, our Johns Hopkins Enterprise Directory(JHED), using Active Directory, automates identity creation/deletion, and provides tools for user self service.
- Single-
...
- Sign-On - we started using CA's SiteMinder in 2004, and now have over 300 applications and sites using SSO in conjunction with our Enterprise Directory. We also are members of InCommon, and have implemented several dozen external services using Shibboleth.
...
- Web Hosting - Hopkins uses SiteExecutive for enterprise web content management. With several thousand distributed content contributors, our CMS originates content for most of our high traffic domains.
...
- Application Development and Integration - we also work extensively with existing applications and services to integrate them into myJH. Though this can be as simple as SSO, often integration requires custom development. This team has diverse application experience, including expertise in: Cold Fusion, Java, Spring, JQuery, ASP.NET, VB, XML, and SQL Server.
Having responsibility for this crosscut of technology and projects puts me in a unique position that provides perspective across the organizational challenges, technical hurdles, and operational issues of standing up a successful uPortal instance.
