Single sign-on
Single sign-on (SSO) is a method for logging on to some online services with your University username and password. The University uses an SSO system called Shibboleth.
Key features
- Move between certain University services without having to enter your details multiple times.
- Available with some external services such as externally-hosted Library journals.
Access instructions
Any services that use SSO will direct you to it automatically when relevant.

Additional information
Requesting SSO for your service
SSO is aimed primarily at University-wide services.
If you have created a service that you would like to be set up to use SSO, contact IT Services.
The supplier or service must implement SAML 2.0 or support Shibboleth.
The service takes some time to configure and test and we are dependent on the experience of the service provider when providing this service. For this reason we require at least three months' notice to implement SSO for a new service.
