When a Country Changes Its Login

Replacing Legacy Authentication Under a National Mandate

Country-Wide Authentication Transition

A new national authentication system was introduced to replace the previous login infrastructure across all government digital services. All ministries were required to transition within a mandated timeline.

Legacy Authentication Retirement

The ministry's existing authentication system had to be fully retired and replaced. This required careful coordination to ensure uninterrupted access for citizens and residents relying on the ministry's online services.

Additional Security Compliance

Beyond the standard OAuth integration, the ministry enforced additional security measures specific to their operations. The standard Sitefinity OAuth provider alone was not sufficient to meet these requirements, demanding custom development work.

Cross-Ministry Coordination

The transition was part of a broader government initiative involving multiple ministries and technical teams, requiring participation in cross-ministry technical sessions and alignment on implementation standards.

Rapid Authentication Integration with Custom Security Compliance

Sitefinity OAuth Provider Customization

Eveliko extended the standard Sitefinity OAuth authentication provider to support the new national system, customizing it to comply with the ministry's additional security measures beyond the default OAuth flow.

Rapid Integration and First Successful Logins

Eveliko delivered the technical integration rapidly, achieving first successful logins in a short timeframe. The broader rollout timeline was then driven by cross-ministry coordination and alignment on the national initiative.

Dual-Provider Operation for a Smooth Switch

Both the legacy and the new authentication providers were kept operational simultaneously, allowing the ministry to transition at their own pace without forcing an abrupt cutover. This dual-provider approach ensured zero downtime and gave all stakeholders confidence during the switchover period.

Cross-Ministry Technical Collaboration

Eveliko participated in cross-ministry technical sessions, providing feedback and contributing to the broader implementation approach. This collaboration helped align the Sitefinity integration with the standards adopted across the government's digital infrastructure.
