Announcing Single Sign On for Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµGoogle Apps and Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµBlackboard Learn

We are excited to announce that we are improving the way Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµusers can access core technology services. Starting May 7th, the Single Sign On option used for other services, like Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµOnline, will be coming to Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµGoogle Apps and Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµBlackboard Learn.

What is Single Sign On (SSO?)

Single Sign On is a single, centralized user authentication service, in which Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµusers 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 Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµservices using the SSO option can expect a seamless transition to and from services that also use Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµSSO. This currently includes services like Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµOnline, and soon Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµGoogle Apps and Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµBlackboard 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 Ïã½¶ÊÓÆµBlackboard Learn login page may look once SSO becomes available.
