History of LADWP Implementation
2010 Implemented 10g products:• OAM – Implemented to provide
additional security to Website for Customer Self-Service with tie into Siebel for account information.
• OID – Directory for Customer Identities• OVD – Virtual Directory to authenticate
customers (OID) and staff (AD)• OIM – Provision staff based on HR system
status into AD, RCAF with password self-service, one-button de-provisioning
Drivers • Upgrade to 11g R2 Suite• New Billing system, migrating Web
account linkage to Billing System and Directory
• New web self-service for LA Sanitation (accounts in new Billing System) and for City’s 311 system. Desire to allow constituents to use one ID for all services if they so desired.
• Single OUD for constituents to simplify management, while providing security for account information.
• OVD still used to authenticate staff.• Need to Implement SAML
Current Environment
• 1.7 million LADWP customers• 10,000 internal users• 750,000 customer licenses for LA
Sanitation and My311• Web Services to :
– Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing (CCB)
– Siebel application• Internal Portal - Live Oct 30 , 2014• External site http://www.ladwp.com
Benefits
• OUD doesn’t relies on database so there is no cost for database hardware and software licensing and maintenance.
• OUD dataset is fully cached in memory thus offering better performance than OID which depend on databases on performance.
• OUD is the future direction for Oracle LDAP directory services.
• DIP features in OUD allow us to synch between different directory such as eDirectory and AD.
• OUD provides very lightweight, easy to configure and provides multiple directory roles such as storage and proxy within a single product.
