Autentisering med OAuth 2.0 i SiteVision : Jämförelse mellan Java Portlets och WebApps

Sammanfattning: The aim of this project has been to explore alternative technical solutions for making own extensions in the CMS SiteVision. The purpose of these extensions is to retrieve data from an external API (Office 365) which requires OAuth 2.0 authentication. Additional, the alternative technical solutions have been evaluated and compared. The comparisons have been made based on criteria developed through interviews with professional IT-consultants. The purpose of the project has been to contribute to more efficient digitization, integration and individualization of datasystems. Within the project, an applied example (POC) has been created to show examples of how the technology can be used. In this example, Java Portlets have been used to implement the above functionality. WebApps in SiteVision have also been studied since this technology is an alternative to Java Portlets. The survey shows that it is fully possible to create a separate extension in SiteVision that performs authentication with OAuth 2.0 and then uses it to retrieve data from an external API. The results from the comparison between the two different Java Portlets and WebApps technologies show that there are pros and cons of each technique. The alternatives studied where comparable in performance. Individual circumstances can dictate which alternative is best.
