Okta

We have partnered with Okta, the world's leading identity and access management solution, to provide an easy, consistent, and secure login experience to a multitude of online applications and services.

Whether you’re a student, faculty, or staff member at the college, you undoubtedly use numerous web applications like Google, D2L, or Workday on a regular basis. Since each of these applications require a password, the number of passwords that we’re responsible for is also growing, making them difficult to manage safely. Okta addresses this problem by bringing all your applications together in one place and giving you instant access with one secure login.

Introduction to SSO

Introduction to SSO

Single Sign-On, or SSO, is exactly what it sounds like: you sign in once, and you have easy access to every application you need, without being prompted to sign in for each one. Okta’s cloud-based SSO platform allows users to enter one username and password to access multiple applications. You can access all of your web applications, both behind the firewall and in the cloud, with a single login credential. The Okta Dashboard, known as myApps, is tailored to each of your devices, providing a seamless experience across PCs, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
