University of Divinity SSO Migration Guide

This document shows University members:

1. An orientation to SSO at the UD
2. How to reset their SSO password
3. How to use SSO on configured systems

Single Sign-On

Single Sign-On (SSO) enables a person to sign into one service and once authenticated use the same credentials for accessing additional configured services. This provides a more seamless experience alongside better security.

Configured Systems

Each member of the University receives a University of Divinity account which allows them to use the SSO service to access the following systems using the same username and password. Additional systems will be migrated in the future.

• Divinity Forms Site https://forms.divinity.edu.au
• UMS (Unit Management System) https://ums.divinity.edu.au
• Portal (CIC, etc) https://portal.divinity.edu.au/

Usernames

For students

The email address used is the one registered in the University’s Student Management System called Paradigm. In addition, a username that consists of your student id number can be used.

For example: john.smith.as.example@gmail.com or 2023123123.

For staff

The email address is the primary email address that is recorded in the University’s StaffPlus system. In addition, a username has been generated that consists of your firstname(s) and lastname(s) joined together with a period in between. This is all in lowercase. If your name(s) has a space or apostrophe, this has been removed.

Examples are: john.smith or jaclyn.ohare or gerhard.vonrad.

Reset your SSO password

You may need to reset your University of Divinity password if:

• you have not initially set your University of Divinity SSO password, or
• you have forgotten your University of Divinity SSO password, or
• you get an error message suggesting your login is incorrect

You can reset your SSO password by heading directly to https://idp.divinity.edu.au/realms/divinity/login-actions/reset-credentials.

Alternatively, when you go to sign into one of the configured sites, the form has a password reset link.

Clicking either of these links will present you with the following form that asks for your username or password. These are described above. Enter this and click Submit.

Once submitted, you will see a message indicating that the process has begun.

You will receive and email from forms@divinity.edu.au that looks like the following:

Click on the link titled ‘Link to reset credentials’ and your browser will open with a form that allows you to set your SSO password.

If more that 5 minutes has passed since you submitted the form, the link will have expired and you will see a message indicating such.

Once successfully submitted you will see the following message. You can now sign into any of the configured systems with your username and updated password.
