About SDSUid
For many years, most wired networks on campus managed connected devices and the identity
of those using devices with a technology called Active Directory. Recently, most campus
organizations have decided to collaborate to create one, campus-wide Active Directory.
Now, all campus on-premise computers and applications can be authenticated against
one central directory. This reduces the workload on IT staff and simplifies the user
experience by using just one username and password. This identifier (e.g. [email protected])
in the campus-wide Active Directory is called SDSUid and will provide self-service
credential management via the Office 365 portal.
SDSU and most of Higher Education are adopting “cloud” vendor hosted applications.
Our campus implementation of SDSUid introduces a portal which extends Active Directory
to be able to authenticate to approximately 4,000 software/hardware vendors. Since
the portal uses widely adopted open standards for authentication, it is possible to
integrate all campus applications to use SDSUid as the credential for access.
