Announcing Single Sign On for Â鶹´«Ã½ Google Apps and Â鶹´«Ã½ Blackboard Learn

We are excited to announce that we are improving the way Â鶹´«Ã½ users can access core technology services. Starting May 7th, the Single Sign On option used for other services, like Â鶹´«Ã½ Online, will be coming to Â鶹´«Ã½ Google Apps and Â鶹´«Ã½ Blackboard Learn.

What is Single Sign On (SSO?)

Single Sign On is a single, centralized user authentication service, in which Â鶹´«Ã½ users can use one browser login session to access any tools, applications, or services that use the same SSO.

What does SSO mean for me?

Users who choose to login to Â鶹´«Ã½ services using the SSO option can expect a seamless transition to and from services that also use Â鶹´«Ã½ SSO. This currently includes services like Â鶹´«Ã½ Online, and soon Â鶹´«Ã½ Google Apps and Â鶹´«Ã½ Blackboard Learn will also be available with SSO.

For users who will be starting new active sessions with these services, you may notice additional options on your login page. Below is an example of how the Â鶹´«Ã½ Blackboard Learn login page may look once SSO becomes available.
