Single Sign-On (SSO)

Service Description
Single sign-on (SSO) is a session and user authentication service that permits a user to use one set of login credentials (e.g., name and password) to access multiple applications. The service authenticates the end user for all the applications the user has been given rights to and eliminates further prompts when the user switches applications during the same session. On the back end, SSO is helpful for logging user activities as well as monitoring user accounts. Many applications Penn College uses are configured to work with SSO.

These are the supported methods of SSO integration:

  • Azure Active Directory
  • Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS)
  • Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
