The LGfL USO Ian Lehmann Operations Manager
What is USO? Unified Sign On (USO) A term used by LGfL to describe an authentication system where the same username and password is used to gain access to a wide variety of systems. In this scenario it is necessary to enter the username and password once for each service that is accessed. However, a user can alter his/her password in one place and have that change propagate to all systems
What is the LGfL USO? • A database of users within London and the UK • A database of users which can be maintained by nominated contacts in schools and Local Authorities • A system for authenticating against LGfL protected resources both Web (Shibboleth) and non-web based.
