Cast Light is committed to the mode of creating tools + co-creating communities, providing GitHub type group innovation and version control knowledge open source platform for scientific research.

Project Light provides GitHub for Paper knowledge open source platform for scientific research, realizes the digitization of academic research and fills the vacancy of Chinese preprint platform. Continuous group innovation and version control are used to realize article production and professional communication. In addition, the platform will support articles and algorithms open source in the community. Users can submit Pull requests and issues for open source articles and algorithms, thus replacing 20 rereads with one good article that is constantly updated. Finally, the knowledge graph and realistic value of the research results are accurately evaluated.

Project community with professional production tools (project editor Editoe), users write a Paper without downloading 7+ plug-ins, accelerate knowledge creation. The projector editor supports code sandbox, reference management, document sharing and co-creation, data visualization, illustration, and multimedia elements, making it possible to write papers in MarkDown syntax.

Now, the cast light editor has completed its first private beta, with hundreds of users actively participating. In the testing process, the project light received a lot of praise from users at home and abroad.

Demand challenge

Before choosing Authing, Authing had been using a domestic cloud manufacturer as its identity service infrastructure. Later, overseas users often reported that various users encountered difficulties in login and verification. The different formats of mobile phone numbers and login verification methods in different countries also bring a series of problems. In addition, building a user system from scratch puts pressure on the project team to develop security systems and architecture design. If the projector optimizes user login verification and phone matching through its own research and development, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive and face many potential risks.

After selection, Authing was finally chosen to solve user login authentication and authorization management problems.

Ideas become reality

After a short afternoon of integration, Cast Light officially started the journey of Authing. Authing provides refined user management, rights allocation, and unified user management capabilities, greatly improving the diversity of business scenarios. The precipitation of the user portrait enables the projector to know more about the user, so as to formulate the user acquisition strategy and user service plan more accurately.

To put it in a word, while achieving strong business stability through Authing, Tanguang also gains the lasting power of Authing for the business.

  • Create a user management system based on Authing identity source, quickly integrate multiple application systems at home and abroad, accelerate the development of the core system of the optical r&d team, reduce the development cost and reduce the development cycle

  • It provides a simple and secure login experience for thousands of domestic and hundreds of foreign users. It is flexible and easy to maintain, greatly reducing the management cost of o&M personnel

  • Connect PC and mobile user data, and log in multiple applications with one account and password, providing users with the ultimate login experience

  • Solve the project has been concerned about user management problems

The deep integration at the product level provides identity infrastructure for c-terminal users of enterprises, realizing convenient, secure, and zero-trust infrastructure. In the future, both parties will continue to deepen cooperation to provide customers with more secure, flexible, easy-to-use and efficient digital login experience.

The customer evaluation

Authing assisted projectron to realize the construction work of user dual-end secure login and permission management, greatly freeing up r&d resources and saving r&d cost by over 40%. With Authing’s help, Illuminance was able to focus on providing a better end user experience.
