OLSA Web Services

The OLSA Web Services API enables another system to interact with SkillPort using standards-based web services. By utilizing these services, you gain the ability to execute specific SkillPort functions without having to manually log in to SkillPort. These functions include, but are not limited to user registration and management, single sign-on, and course launch.

The flow chart below shows a possible OLSA implementation:
