Update on New OpenCCC Account System

A new complete redesign of the OpenCCC Account System is underway. (Update 12.15.19:  Targeted launch = Fall 2020). 

Some details:

  • Backend upgrades - working on moving OpenCCC dev stack and separating from the Apply dev stack - so they will be separate development and release efforts and fewer dependencies on each other moving forward.
  • New robust security platform using Keycloak software - which will allow us to integrate with 3rd party products, more ways to create accounts and assign CCCIDs.
  • Most of the existing data fields collected now will continue to be collected in the new system, except the Social Security Number and Previous (Legal) Name. Also the Preferred Name fields will be collapsed into one single field (probably a new, single field for Previous name). We will also be removing the security questions and the PIN number from the account creation process, and implementing more security profile settings.
  • The new system will also include a complete redesign of the Account Recovery process - which will be as easy as possible and will not be based on the SSN and will not include a security questions options.


Social Security Number

One of the big changes, as mentioned above, is that the new OpenCCC system will not include the Social Security Number (SSN) question. It will be moved into the CCCApply application onto the Account Information/Mailing page, along with the other Account info. 


Feedback on SSN no longer used for recovery
