Modernizing Educational Portals with SSO and SharePoint Integration
Faced with outdated infrastructure and load issues, SQU transitioned from Oracle Portal to a clustered Liferay setup. We implemented a scalable, high-availability portal with role-based access and integrated it with SharePoint using OpenAM for seamless Single Sign-On. 

Overview
The university needed to modernize its Oracle-based portal due to performance and scalability issues, especially with high user loads.

Business Challenge

• Legacy Oracle Portal couldn’t handle user load

• No high availability

• Lack of seamless integration with SharePoint

Our Solution
We implemented a clustered Liferay setup for high availability, integrated OpenAM for SSO between Liferay and SharePoint, and configured Oracle DB for data management.

Technologies Used
Liferay 6.2 GA-4, OpenAM, Active Directory, Oracle DB

Project Outcome

• Role-based access for faculty, students, and alumni

• Unified experience between Liferay and SharePoint

• High-performance, scalable portal
