This week’s Enterprise Technology & Services (ET&S) Tech Briefing features new information and a reminder.
Seamless Single Sign-On Project: One Password, One Username, Many Applications
To Know: In September 2022, ET&S initiated the Seamless Single Sign-On Project to enhance the authentication experience across 250+ Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµÏÂÔØ web applications that use single sign-on (SSO; also known as Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµÏÂÔØ usernames and passwords).Â
What this means for students, faculty, and staff:
- Students, faculty, and staff will be prompted for individual application sign-ins less frequently
- The look and feel of the sign-on page for systems or resources may change
- Some bookmarked or favorited login URLs may need to be replaced with a new login location.
 What this means for service owners and system administrators of applications:
- The project team will reach out directly to you.
Once fully implemented, this transition will provide a seamless user experience across all impacted applications; users only need to sign in once per session to be logged into all migrated applications. The project team will migrate applications in targeted batches throughout the 2022-2023 academic year.
To Do: For more information regarding this project, including a walkthrough of changes, updated login URLs for impacted applications, the upcoming migration schedule, and links to receive support and assistance, please visit the Ìý²õ¾±³Ù±ð.
