            Interface between the Charles University information system and individual local access sy

            faculties or other parts of the Charles University is formed by the LDAP database, which s
            (Central Authentication Service), uses data from the information system and distributes th
            manner, to local systems of individual faculties and parts of the Charles University. Facu

            parts of the Charles Universities can thus synchronise their data about users whom they wi
            certain access rights to their buildings and facilities (e.g., auditoria, laboratories, et

            in the central part of the system while access rights are set at local installations of ac

            This solution enables continued operation of local systems in case of interrupted connecti

            access systems. In particular, this concerns the existing functioning systems at the Facul

            and Physics, Faculty of Science, and Faculty of Education. For the Aktion system of EFG Co
            was selected by a tender, certain key demands were set which required an adjustment of the
            system to enable a link to the central LDAP database. These adjustments had been implement
