Centralized Access for Different Applications

This task involves reviewing existing but non-operational PHP code dealing with security access. We have several commercial-grade online applications, each with its independent user management system. This project will provide a centralized capability for a user with the same username and password to manage access to all our different applications. Adding to the complexity, each application supports an unlimited number of separate billable accounts using each application. The new access system also allows a user to gain access to different accounts within the same application, also via the same username and password. For example, a sysadmin who wishes to log into a particular account within a particular application in order to recreate a user problem. That sysadmin would enter with one username and password, and then navigate among applications and then accounts within an application to the application/account he wishes. Available is a detailed Functional Description and the semi-operational PHP code. We are looking for a senior PHP programmer with extensive experience in complex user management and security access to look over that Functional Description and the semi-operational PHP code. Then, this programmer will work with our senior programmer to suggest the most effective software architecture, and to co-develop with our senior programmer the final operational code. This will include drafting complete versions of the final code or its elements. We anticipate this to be a 2 to 3 person-day effort. Applicants are asked to submit qualifications in the area of complex security access, with relevant code examples. We will need experience isolating into a maintainable framework the logic needed to log into different applications. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables): a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
