Overview

The state chief information officer strives to simplify electronic transactions with North Carolina state government. The state CIO is required to ensure this happens in a secure manner. This is accomplished through authentication of users and controlled access to applications and services.

Standard

To achieve this, the state CIO requires all interagency and external-facing solutions and applications that create content use the state’s identity and access management solution, NCID.

More information on the NCID service can be found at: https://it.nc.gov/ncid/ and https://it.nc.gov/services/nc-identity-management-ncid.

NCID is used to integrate with numerous systems to synergize the end-user experience by providing authentication and authorization for state applications and solutions.

All solutions requiring NCID authentication must externalize identity and access management and support the following protocols:

  • Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML v2) 
  • Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) 
  • Web Services (SOAP/WSDL)  

As existing solutions are upgraded or replaced, they will be required to support the above protocols.

A formal exception is required to use a solution other than NCID. The agency must provide just cause for the exception to be approved.

The exception form can be found on https://it.nc.gov/documents/exception-resources.
