How does Sheridan implement SSO?

Sheridan uses the SAML v2.0 specification to implement Single Sign-On. This image illustrates the SAML flow nicely between SLATE and Sheridan College.

SAML transaction steps

We use the Shibboleth software to implement the SAML specification.

How do I configure my web service for SSO?

It depends on your service. It may support SAML natively or require plugins, packages, or source files to be installed and configured. Email servicedesk@sheridancollege.ca regarding your service and a member from ICT will respond promptly and work with you to see what's involved.
