About caIntegrator
NCI Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (CBIIT) is developing a novel translational informatics platform called caIntegrator that allows researchers and bioinformaticians to access and analyze subject annotation and experimental data across multiple subject annotation trials and studies. The caIntegrator framework provides a mechanism for integrating and aggregating biomedical research data and provides access to a variety of data types (for example, immunohistochemistry (IHC), microarray-based gene expression, SNPs, subject annotation trials data, imaging data, etc.) in a cohesive fashion.

Security Information
Entry
Do you have an LDAP account?
An LDAP account is a user profile you may have with your institution or CBIIT. If you answer Yes, enter your username and password. This allows caIntegrator to verify that your credentials are correct.
If caIntegrator does not validate your LDAP profile, you are asked to reenter your credentials. You can choose to answer No. In this case, the System Administrator will manually ensure that you do not get a duplicate LDAP account during provisioning. You can then cancel the action or talk with your System Administrator about the problem.
If you select No (you do not have an LDAP account), the text boxes for entering the LDAP account information disappear. You must indicate the role you would like to be assigned in caIntegrator, and continue entering the appropriate information in the Account Details section.Info title Not logged in?
