Question:
- What is Single Sign-On (SSO)?
Answer:
- Single Sign-On allows you to sign in once per session for all configured North Hennepin Community College applications.
- Single Sign-On (SSO) alters how you enter your username:
- Students: StarID@go.minnstate.edu
- Employees: StarID@minnstate.edu
- SSO means that signing into one application with your MinnState login allows you to access other North Hennepin Community resources without having to sign in multiple times.
- SSO can reduce the number of times you need to login during the day and provides access to other services and websites for collaboration and sharing.
- You will not need to re-enter your minnstate login for those applications that are participating in SSO.
- NOTE: The only time you may be asked to re-enter your username and password may be if you have changed your StarID password recently.
- Some applications will still require you to enter your StarID and password. These applications often have higher risk data and confidential information such as Payroll.
- If you log into any Minnesota State (minnstate.edu) provided resources, you may have to change your username from starID@minnstate.edu to starID@nhcc.edu to log in to a North Hennepin resource.
What does Single Sign-On (SSO) look like?
- When you see this screen, you are visiting a Single Sign-On (SSO) application (You have probably seen this when logging into your Metro State e-mail).
- Use your MinnState login information as reflected below:
- After you enter your MinnState login, you will be directed to another page asking for your StarID password and 2nd step verification method
- After successfully logging in, you will be prompted again asking if you want to remain signed in:
- After selecting "Yes", you are now signed in using SSO.
- This will allow you to sign into other SSO applications without entering your credentials again.
