Consolidate to Enterprise Authentication: Consolidation Approach and Details

Consolidation Approch

The Identity and Access Management (IAM) team aims to consolidate current authentication services into one service called Enterprise Authentication, which will use the latest Shibboleth Identity Provider (IdP) to provide a cloud resilient, stable, single sign-on solution based on standard industry protocols.

The consolidation will focus on moving UT Shibboleth customers to Enterprise Authentication. After this consolidation, UT Shibboleth will be retired. The consolidation for UT Shibboleth customers began in October 2020 and is expected to end in Spring 2021.

Consolidation Plan

The UT Shibboleth to Enterprise Authentication Transition Plan has been published to UT ServiceNow.
