Application Details
Base (User registration)
The aAPS Base handles Active Directory and Exchange management out of the box. The integration of additional platform systems is easy to achieve.
The web interface allow configurable pages to match the customer requirements and needs (adding new fields, modifying the layout and the position of the fields, adding/updating the business rules validation, hiding unused fields, …).
The changes are effective without any restart of the application.
Provisioning Agent
The provisioning agents deliver the required account information to the target systems. If a subject is associated with an account or if an existing account is modified, the information required on the target system is written into an event table. The multi-threaded provisioning agents read the events table and perform the appropriate action on the target system. There must be one provisioning agent instance per target system (NT4 domain, Active Directory Forest, Exchange 200x site, …).
Dynamic plug-ins can be used for specific provisioning tasks (home directory drive, …).
Group Management
The aAPS Group Management includes built-in functionality for Active Directory security groups and Distribution groups.
Custom validation and naming conventions enforcement are guaranteed. The aAPS Web Interface is configurable.
Generic Importer
The aAPS Generic Importer is a generic loader which guarantees a smooth initial load and ongoing data updates of human resource or account data from various source systems.
The generic importer does not provide a web interface, however the import logics can be configured by editing easy to understand XML files.
Custom rules and actions can be performed thanks to plug-ins integration capabilities.
Fields managed by sources can be set as read-only on the aAPS Web Interface.
History
The History tracking is fully integrated to the base technology. aAPS takes care of every single modification occurring on the account data. A web interface is provided to view the complete audit trail.
Custom Tasks
aAPS is built to allow additional tasks to be set up and integrated to aAPS without complex effort thanks to its API. Therefore custom reporting can be implemented with a simple plug-in. Out of the box, a subjects reporting is provided out of the search page in the base application (.csv export).
Helpdesk & Self Service
The aAPS Helpdesk allows the aAPS administrator with sufficient rights to reset the password and unlock the end-user account.
The aAPS Self Service allows end users to update their own information such as Telephone Number, postal address. A sequence of custom questions is asked in order to identify the user.
