Abstract:
The CalNet System is the unification of authentication and directory
services into a cohesive, comprehensive security infrastructure to
support campus web-based applications. The CalNet system is
comprised of two components: the Authentication Web server, which
allows people to prove their identity over the network in a
centralized, reliable manner, and the Directory service which
provides a secure, centralized means of obtaining authoritative
information about the person (e.g. employee ID, department, email
address, campus address, campus phone). This presentation will
describe the benefits of integrating with the CalNet system and
future plans for the service.
