Originally developed by
schools a trusted way for their applications to authenticate users. This
single sign-on format allows a user or prospective student to log in once to
access multiple applications, and can be integrated with any system. Hobsons
has integrated CAS into the back-end of the EMT Connect CRM system, as well as
its student-facing VIP pages. When users or prospective students log in to
their VIP pages, they will now be authenticated by CAS. Once successfully
authenticated, the user is redirected back to their VIP page, and has seamless
access to other applications without the need for an additional sign-in.
With more than 90 campuses already using CAS, Hobsons aims to make
integration easy and authentication seamless for its higher education clients
with EMT Connect and VIP pages.
“Hobsons’ first successful implementation with CAS integration has been
with
back-end of the EMT Connect product since August and just recently started
using CAS with their VIP pages in October,” said
director of Hobsons EMT. “We are excited to roll this new feature out to the
full educational market, allowing for full integration with a wide variety of
applications.”
