A CMS to rule them al
Thanks to the implementation of Drupal and its companion Drupal Commerce, we were able to quickly address one of the project's main goals: having a single tool to manage Pages, Products, and Orders.
The Swisstopo online store offers over 778 products translated into 4 languages. With Drupal, we were able to set up a page creation tool that allows for the inclusion of desired products on a case-by-case basis for each page.
A Swiss Authentication System
The upgrade to Drupal also provided Swisstopo with the opportunity to transition its client authentication system to the Confederation's new authentication tool, the aptly named eIAM, which uses SAML 2.0 technology.
Once again, thanks to Drupal and its community, we were able to use the SamlAuth module to integrate the SAML protocol into Drupal and its user management.
Quickly, we encountered a limitation: no Drupal SAML module offered a system compatible with the SAML standard implemented by the Confederation, namely support for HTTP-POST Binding. Fortunately, our Drupal expertise and knowledge of the SAML protocol allowed us to address this issue, and we were able to contribute to the SamlAuth project by adding support for HTTP-POST Binding.
Integration with PostFinance Checkout Flex
Finally, we worked in collaboration with MD System to create the Drupal PostFinance Checkout Flex module. This entirely new module now allows any Drupal Commerce project to use the new Checkout Flex payment system offered by PostFinance."
