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.
