User management component
User management software for desktop programs and web applications
On behalf of a logistics software manufacturer, eWorks developed a customized user management system that can be integrated into other programs as a module. The software manages user accounts, user groups and freely configurable authorizations and thus offers a high degree of flexibility for access protection.
The special feature of the development was that both desktop programs and web applications can be connected with the same program interface and access can therefore be protected. The application was developed with VB.NET, which offers the ideal conditions for this. It uses Microsoft SQL Server for data storage via ADO.NET. The user administration is encapsulated as a self-contained module and is provided in the form of DLLs so that all .NET languages can access the functions.
Administration is carried out either via a WinForms interface as a Windows desktop program or integrated into a website as a WebForms application. This means that both platforms can be used depending on the distribution purpose.
The project was rounded off by the development of WinForms and WebForms login masks and comprehensive documentation for reference purposes and first steps.
