Hi guys,
Interesting work on integrating the openxdata with DHIS2…
DHIS2 is not LDAP authentication, currently uses Spring security for the authentication. Currently, we use the database for storing the salted passwords for a username and use this for the authentication
May be if its required urgently for some implementation of DHIS2, we could do it pretty easily…

Hi Simon,
Hi Simon,
First of all this is a very exciting project and having a good DHIS2 integration is a very good and often requested for feature.
What timeframes are we talking about – and what developer time do you have to implement this?
Meaning do you have time for some substantial changes or primarily quick solutions?
Does DHIS2 use LDAP or something custom like we have in openXdata for users and organizations?
Best

Subject: [openXdata-dev] DHIS2 integration
Hello all
At Cell-Life we are integrating OpenXdata with DHIS2 for a large project(1000 users in the pilot). The forms are fairly simple and are collecting information like “Number of people tested for HIV”. Some of the forms are filled in monthly and some weekly. Each facility will have a mobile phone which they will use to capture the data (so no roaming phones).
Give this situation and the fact that there will be a lot of facilities (more than 10000) we do not want to include the facility information in the form (i.e. we assume that all data coming from a particular phone / user is associated with a particular facility). This is partly to make the forms easier to fill out and partly because I don’t think the current mobile app would be able to cope with a list of 10000 facilities). We could have different forms for different districts but that increases the management overhead significantly (there will be approximately 50 districts).
So what we need to do is map an OpenXdata user to an OrganizationUnit (DHIS speak for facility) so that when a user submits data we know which facility (org unit) it belongs to. I have some ideas of how to do this but would appreciate any ideas from the community, especially if we can figure out a way of doing it that makes sense for the long run.
I won’t tell you my ideas for now so as to not spoil your creative juices
Any feedback welcome!
Simon
