I am sure that some of you have seen the Slashdot Story on APIs for
retailers. http://developers.slashdot.org/story/10/06/17/1837240/Developers-New-Opportunity-mdash-Retailers-Open-APIs. I have been thinking (and unfortunately just thinking) about the feasibility of integrating this into ofBiz for some time. This dovetails into Pavan's recent question about ofBiz. Anyways since security would need to be paramount in this case, I am wondering whether at a higher level is ofBiz secure enough? I know that the question will devolve into secure enough for what. My point in asking the question is to let the question devolve for gathering the collective wisdom. Secure enough for hosting an retailer's catalog online and provide queryable APIs to generate more sales (and provide limited inventory visibility). Regards -- Milind |
also depends on what is being done.
if your not using a public face like ecommerce then if the intranets is secure so are the apps. Boeing for instance sets up security through routers to different locations. I work with an API for Yahoo. They require the level of audit that Visa requires, since they use Visa in their payment provider. it takes months to get approved and you have to have the customer base that makes it worthwhile for them to validate you. ========================= BJ Freeman http://bjfreeman.elance.com Strategic Power Office with Supplier Automation <http://www.businessesnetwork.com/automation/viewforum.php?f=52> Specialtymarket.com <http://www.specialtymarket.com/> Systems Integrator-- Glad to Assist Chat Y! messenger: bjfr33man <http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=1237480&locale=en_US&trk=tab_pro> Milind Parikh sent the following on 6/17/2010 3:27 PM: > I am sure that some of you have seen the Slashdot Story on APIs for > retailers. > http://developers.slashdot.org/story/10/06/17/1837240/Developers-New-Opportunity-mdash-Retailers-Open-APIs. > > > I have been thinking (and unfortunately just thinking) about the feasibility > of integrating this into ofBiz for some time.

BTW EDI is a form of API as well.
it uses AS1 and AS2 which required encrypted and security keys. The the service I provide, for suppler inventory, I use security keys. this pretty much he practice for google, yahoo, amazon. ========================= BJ Freeman http://bjfreeman.elance.com Strategic Power Office with Supplier Automation <http://www.businessesnetwork.com/automation/viewforum.php?f=52> Specialtymarket.com <http://www.specialtymarket.com/> Systems Integrator-- Glad to Assist Chat Y! messenger: bjfr33man <http://www.linkedin.com/profile?viewProfile=&key=1237480&locale=en_US&trk=tab_pro> Milind Parikh sent the following on 6/17/2010 3:27 PM: > I am sure that some of you have seen the Slashdot Story on APIs for > retailers. > http://developers.slashdot.org/story/10/06/17/1837240/Developers-New-Opportunity-mdash-Retailers-Open-APIs. > > > I have been thinking (and unfortunately just thinking) about the feasibility > of integrating this into ofBiz for some time.
