Single Sign On

Seattle Pacific University's Single Sign-On (SSO) system enables users to securely access multiple services using a single login per device, eliminating the need to repeatedly enter credentials.

SPU utilizes Microsoft Azure as out SSO application. Its interface is shown below:

Open ***If accessing a system already known to be inside the SPU tenant (e.g., spu.edu/webmail), the initial login screen asking for your username will display the SPU arch similarly to the password entry screen.

Non-SSO Systems

We currently still maintain a handful of systems for which we are unable to implement SSO. Most are used by only a small population on campus, so you may not come into contact with any of them. However, if you do ever need to access one, you will see the login screen native to that system and will have to enter credentials specific to it.

Spoofed Logins

One way cybercriminals attempt to access systems and retrieve personal information on users is to spoof login screens. They will create their own login screens that visually match those the user is expecting but direct the user to their site instead of the expected one. One way to prevent yourself from falling prey to these attempts is to always check the URL of the login page you are using. The URL for our Microsoft Azure SSO begins with https://login.microsoftonline.com, while the URL for our Shibboleth SSO begins with https://login.spu.edu.

Open

If you see something besides either of these, immediately stop entering your credentials and contact ITS. If you notice this after entering your credentials and clicking the login button, immediately contact ITS so we can secure your account.

Previous SSO Systems

Previously, SPU utilized Shibboleth as our SSO application. If you are accessing an application and directed to the login screen below, it is still using this old SSO option. Please contact the helpdesk and inform us of how you reached that page so that we may fix it..
