PRODATA Ltd Integrates OIDC-Based RealMe® Authentication into Bespoke Application Portal

PRODATA Ltd Integrates OIDC-Based Authentication into Bespoke Application Portal

Wellington, New Zealand — PRODATA Ltd is proud to announce the successful integration of OpenID Connect (OIDC) based authentication across our bespoke client application portal (supporting RealMe®, Tuakiri, or any other federated identity services). This strategic upgrade transitions our identity verification services to modern, industry-standard authentication protocols, delivering enhanced security and a streamlined user experience.

Modern Identity Verification for Enhanced Security

RealMe®—the New Zealand Government’s trusted identity verification service—allows individuals to easily and securely prove who they are online. By upgrading our portal to leverage OpenID Connect (OIDC), PRODATA Ltd aligns its digital ecosystem with the latest global standards in identity federation and access management.

This integration replaces older authentication standards with a more robust, lightweight, and API-friendly framework. For our clients, this means faster login times, reduced authentication friction, and the highest level of data privacy protection.

Key Benefits of the OIDC Integration:

• Elevated Security: Built on top of the OAuth 2.0 framework, OIDC provides robust encryption and token-based state management to shield user data from evolving cyber threats.
• Seamless User Experience: Users can log in using their verified RealMe® credentials effortlessly, eliminating the need for managing separate, siloed portal passwords.
• Future-Proof Infrastructure: The shift to OIDC ensures our bespoke portal remains highly scalable, interoperable, and ready to support future digital identity innovations.
• Strict Compliance: Maintaining alignment with New Zealand’s trusted identity frameworks guarantees that data sovereignty and user privacy remain paramount.

A Seamless Transition for Existing Users

We have designed this migration to be entirely disruption-free. There is no requirement for existing users to re-link their accounts. Your current login credentials will continue to function exactly as they always have.

However, if existing users prefer the convenience and security of a single digital identity, they can easily choose to link their existing portal accounts with RealMe® or TUAKIRI via their account settings.

Driving Digital Excellence

“Integrating OIDC-based authentication represents a major milestone in our commitment to digital excellence and security,” said Damien Ferguson, Project Lead at PRODATA Ltd. “Our primary goal was to bring world-class security to our bespoke application portal without disrupting our clients’ daily operations. By utilizing the OIDC framework, we’ve achieved a seamless upgrade that gives users modern flexibility—allowing them to adopt RealMe or TUAKIRI at their own pace or continue using their existing credentials without any friction.”

The new authentication system can be set up live and fully operational. Current portal users can explore the new login options immediately.
