Weblogin
Overview and Key Features:
Weblogin is the web single sign-on service, which is used by hundreds of University service providers to provide authentication via UTORid/password. It also provides ‘coarse-grained’ authorization attributes such as affiliation and email address, which can be used by services to create and maintain local accounts and restrict access. Weblogin uses Shibboleth as the underlying technology.
- Federated access
The University’s Weblogin service is integrated with the Canadian Access Federation, a Canada-wide service that provides access to Canadian and worldwide services, including:
- Weblogin access integration with other Canadian higher-ed services.
- University of Toronto services access via other Canadian institution access systems.
- Integration with eduGAIN, a service that extends the Canadian higher-ed federated capability to educational institutions in the United States and across the world.
