Once a customer has sponsored an operational COG, how do I help them administer user ids, passwords , etc.?
There are three approaches to the administration of COG user id’s: • The DMIS toolset offers one solution. Have a single designated COG administrator download one copy and use the COG admin tab only to administer user ids. • If the user admin task is small and requires only a rare add/delete of operator ids used for system connections , an OPEN technical contact can do that, working with either the commercial system programmers, or with the customer technical contact responsible for configuring a COTS installation. • A third option is to use the OPEN interoperability interface for COG administration. This can be used by a COTS system to update OPEN interop IDs in a way that makes the connection to the Disaster Management Program invisible to the user. The COTS system would have to write the GUI and connection code. (This is a different WSDL than is used for CAP, but has been tested and is full operational.) This is an option for “single source” integrators that need to provide user id
