CardsOnline & SURFconext
CardsOnline works with SURFconext as Single Sign-On (SSO) solution
The time of only using one application for educational institutions is over. Nowadays, educational institutions work with multiple applications and systems, and have a need for simplicity, security and efficiency. When employees need to remember multiple passwords to login to all these different systems, frustration and unsafe situations arise. A solution for this situation is to use Single Sign-On (SSO).
What is Single Sign-On?
With Single Sign-On (SSO), a user only logs in once to gain access to multiple applications and systems. Organizations use SSO to give easy and more secure access to all their different systems.
SSO (Single Sign-On) by SURFconext
