Single Sign On (SSO)

A service overview and catalog of Single Sign On (SSO) provided by the UC Berkeley IT Service Hub.

Description

Single Sign On (SSO) is used at UC Berkeley to allow employees, students and affiliates to log in to multiple applications and services, using a single ID and passphrase.

We offer three types of SSO to campus technologists:

OpenID Connect (OIDC)
Central Authentication Server (CAS)
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)

Benefits of SSO include having a single account to access multiple services, allowing a user to log in once and access many services without having to log in again. It provides centralized user management, enhanced productivity, increased security and monitoring, and better user experience.
