ConnectAuthenticate Requirements
Most ConnectAuthenticate implementations will use the following:
• A network member server running Windows Server 2008 or higher
• ADFS 2.0 or higher running on the above server
• A standard SSL certificate to encrypt authentication traffic
• Additional considerations may apply
ConnectAuthenticate provides AAA Security Architecture for users and the information the organization hosts with SchoolDude.
▶ Authentication - Because the school’s network only issues Security Tokens to trusted users, the Security Token indicates that the network trusts the user. Because the network trusts the user, SchoolDude trusts the user.
▶ Authorization - two layers of authorization for information security. Security tokens issued by the school’s network provide access to use SchoolDude products. Roles defined within the SchoolDude products define what users are allowed to do in each product.
▶ Accounting - keep a log of user activities for the past 30 days. Every login record contains the name of the user, the date, the time and the product accessed. This log can be downloaded and printed if needed by the administrator.
FEATURES
▶ Users log in using the same password that connects them to their school’s network.
▶ Reduces “password fatigue” by not requiring users to manage an additional, SchoolDude specific password.
▶ Requesters on the school’s network are no longer required to enter a password to submit information in work orders, facility requests, etc., because the network has already authenticated them.
▶ Requesters are more securely identified using their own unique credentials instead of a generic submittal password; no more risk of requesters accidentally seeing each other’s requests.
BENEFITS
▶ Simplified user management: Requesters are automatically added to the SchoolDude product user database when they submit their first request.
▶ Access is controlled by the school’s network directory; disabling or deleting users in the network directory also prevents them from accessing SchoolDude products.
▶ Once ADFS has been configured to use ConnectAuthenticate, there’s no additional work needed until the SSL certificate is being renewed (generally only once per year).
ConnectAuthenticate is a Single Sign-On solution that allows users to securely access SchoolDude applications by using the same secure credentials they use to connect to their school’s network. Users connect to their school’s network, and the network determines if they are allowed to use the SchoolDude products.
