As part of the IAM Roadmap, the IAM Team is consolidating its authentication offerings into a single service. Customers are being migrated off of our legacy authentication providers, UTLogin and UT Shibboleth, and onto Enterprise Authentication.
Authentication is the act of determining that a person is who they claim to be.
When an end user logs in successfully (for example, using a username and password), the authentication system will then certify to a consuming service that the end user is who they claim to be.
Not to be confused with authorization, authentication only determines the identity of an end user. Authentication makes no decisions whether an end user should have access to a resource.
Enterprise Authentication
The IAM Team offers the Enterprise Authentication service for campus-wide, web-based single sign-on. Enterprise Authentication is powered by a Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0 Identity Provider (IdP).
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
If you need to protect your service or application behind Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and you are unable to use Enterprise Authentication, UTLogin, or UT Shibboleth we may be able to help!
