When Tony Casciotta, CIO and VP of IT at Broward College, began looking for a new access management platform, he knew he needed key functionalities, including provisioning and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), self-service password reset, Single Sign-On (SSO) and seamless Workday integration.
After evaluating their options, Broward College chose OneLogin as their access management solution. Its capabilities, speed to deploy and user experience made it the perfect choice for them.
SSO Launchpad
SSO Launchpad is a web application that allows users to access multiple applications with just one username and password. This feature makes it easy for students, teachers, and administrators to log in to their accounts from a single location.
SSO launchpad features gateways to popular student websites like Pinnacle and Khan Academy. The portal also gives educators access to district tools such as Live Edge.
To use the launchpad, you need to first login with your broward single sign on SSO login credentials. You can do this by visiting the official SSO login page and following the instructions on the site.
Once you’ve logged in, click on “Set up Alternate Authentication.” Then, select three security questions and enter the answers to each question. The system will then verify that you’re who you say you are.
You can also reset your Broward SSO password. This is useful if you forget your password. Once you’ve done this, you can log in with your new password.
In addition to being able to set up a Broward SSO Launchpad, you can also configure your launchpad to include a logo that represents your organization or product. To do this, you need to edit a collection of files and templates called singleSignOn Schema.
Then, you can customize your launchpad’s appearance by editing the text and importing images of your organization and product logos. You can also change the look and feel of the launchpad’s header, footer, and sidebar.
Currently, NASA requires all CMR ingest and MMT users to authenticate using Launchpad (NASA’s SSO) in order to ingest metadata. The requirement applies to all CMR ingest and MMT user workflows, including those who ingest or update metadata programmatically through the CMR REST APIs.
Clever
With Clever, teachers can easily access a variety of learning resources and applications from one platform. The program also uses data analytics to track student progress and recommend resources based on their needs.
It is also a good way to improve student engagement and collaboration. It includes online discussion forums, video conferencing tools, and other innovative tools to promote learning and communication.
The Clever program is used by more than 95,000 K-12 schools worldwide. It offers a single sign-on (SSO) system that allows students to access various learning applications and resources without having to use multiple usernames and passwords. The platform also helps teachers save time by providing a central location for learning resources and applications.
With Clever, users can sign in with their email address and password. It can also allow users to reset their passwords from anywhere in the world using a self-service tool.
Clever’s easy-to-use platform also allows students to manage their personal information and access their school records. It also allows teachers to provide personalized feedback to their students, which can help them identify their strengths and weaknesses.
As technology usage continues to rise in classrooms, districts need a platform that can handle data security. With Clever, districts can safeguard their data by sharing it with a secure platform that is regularly tested and optimized for data security.
Unlike other platforms, Clever is designed to keep personal data safe and confidential. This helps avoid data breaches and cyber attacks that can affect the privacy of students and teachers.
It also helps administrators and educators manage the security of their school information by enabling them to set sharing rules that they can then copy from one application to another. This feature also lets teachers and administrators monitor who is logging into an application or launching an app for an entire class, avoiding lost time due to login issues.
This spring, we’re expanding our identity management solution to work with Active Directory. This feature will automate the creation, updating and deprovisioning of user accounts in Active Directory and Google Workspace, which will save administrators a lot of time. Moreover, it will also enable administrators to set multi-factor authentication through text messages and voice calls. They will have complete control over how and when they roll out this feature across their district, as well as visibility into who activated the MFA feature and the ability to generate backup codes.
Self-Service Password Reset
SSPR solutions are a great way to increase password security and minimize the amount of time it takes for users to log into their computer or network. Moreover, they are easy to deploy and reduce the workload of IT support staff.
Typical features of self-service password reset software include the ability to set conditional access policies and a variety of authentication factors (e.g., mobile tokens, voiceprints, a one-time passcode) based on the IP address, device, and location of the request. These features can help reduce security breaches and improve service to end-users.
Many SSPR software products can also integrate with other systems, including identity and access management systems, user databases, ticketing systems, and customer relationship management (CRM) applications. Some SSPR software products can be installed directly on the organization’s desktop, while others are cloud-based and implemented as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution.
Most SSPR solutions enable password synchronization, which allows users to update their passwords across multiple systems with one click. This ensures that all passwords are changed and updated in a consistent fashion, which reduces the number of password-related requests for help on the service desk.
Self-service password reset can be deployed on a webserver or in the cloud as a SaaS product. LogonBox is a cloud-based password manager that can be incorporated into the self-service portal to provide a simple and secure way for users to store their credentials.
These tools can also be used to control access, assigning webapps to specific users so that they can only be accessed from within the organisation. This ensures that no one else can access the passwords, thereby preventing unauthorized use of company resources.
Using these features ensures that employees do not waste valuable company resources and can be contacted when a password-related problem arises, allowing them to get back to work more quickly. This can be a huge advantage for any company that suffers from a high volume of password-related problems, which can impact productivity.
Badges
Badges are digital symbols that represent an achievement, experience or competency. They can be used to document and display your achievements on social media, a resume or job site. They are based on the Open Badges Standard, which offers a secure and reliable way to share your credentials.
Badge counts can appear next to an app icon on a smartphone’s Home Screen, or in the Notification Center or as a banner. They tell you how many notifications you have in an app, and are a great way to remind yourself of the latest alerts from a particular app.
But badges can also be distracting to some users, especially if they’re constantly showing up on their devices. That’s why some people disable them altogether.
If you don’t want to receive badges, you can go to Settings > Notifications and toggle the badges option for each app. You can also set the badge count to show up only when you open an app.
A badge is a small red circle or number that appears over an app icon on the Home Screen. They’re a good way to see how many unread notifications you have, but they can also be distracting if they’re constantly showing up on your Home Screen.
When the count reaches the triple digits, it can be overwhelming to a user and can deter them from checking your app again. This is why it’s important to keep your badge count low.
Badges tap into the psychology of curiosity, a powerful driver in customer engagement. They let you know there’s something in your app that your customers might not know about, and they can encourage a sense of anticipation before a user actually opens it.
Badges can also work in tandem with push notifications, delivering a gentle reminder to your users that they should check your app again soon. They can even help you nudge users to return if they’ve been away for some time. But make sure that the notifications you send are different than your other messaging, and that your users don’t get bored with them over time.
