The IBM Cúram Social Program Managementdefault, out-of-the-box application is enabled for internal users. Internal users are users that exist on the Cúram Users database table. A typical internal user would be a case worker who creates and manages claims for participants and has full access to the application. The infrastructure provides functionality for authenticating and authorizing these internal users.
There is also the concept of a user that needs to securely access parts of the IBM Cúram Social Program Managementapplication. These users are outside the organisation. Their access is limited. These users are considered external users and authentication for these users is completely customizable through the use of the External Access Security hook point provided. As external users are processed differently to internal users, a specific web application is required for external users.
