PROFILE
John Franklin
John Franklin modernized authentication for the GSA/digital-gov-drupal repository by migrating from SAML to OpenID Connect with PKCE, integrating with GSA and Okta to streamline single sign-on. He restructured backend authentication flows, leveraging PHP and YAML for Drupal configuration, and implemented admin-only account creation while disabling password resets and removing username/password fields to enforce SSO. John aligned provisioning with GSA IT ICAM, using configuration management to support preproduction readiness and simplify setup via the Okta plugin. His work improved security and session management, with all changes tracked under DIGITAL-195, demonstrating depth in authentication, backend development, and system administration.
