SSO and the future

[Christopher Bennett]

Based on

The web development team has been working on a replacement to CERT, called 'manage'. With GDPR, PIPEDA and many other data protection regulations coming into play across the globe, data protection and security is a hot topic at the moment. With this, we have begun overhauling our web interface which is used to manage VATSIM user data such as suspensions, region transfers, registrations and much, much more. The new interface will not only further our granular control over data access and permissions, but will add more functionality, including easier to use APIs, real-time updates of data based on current network servers, and other tools that will help VATSIM’s membership and supervisory teams make your experience more enjoyable. All of this is being built using the latest web development conventions with security as the top priority. Thanks to Aidan, Alex and Andrew for their hard work on this.

am I to [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ume that SSO will no longer be maintained and turned off once "manage" and it's API are made available?

[Alex Long]

Matt or Aidan may be able to correct me on this but as far as I'm aware, we're going to be keeping SSO. Manage will essentially be the replacement to what is now Cert.

Alex is correct - SSO will be sticking around

Thanks for clearing that up Gents.
