Question AAAI-08

Does your application support integration with other authentication and authorization systems?

Standard Guidance

EDUCAUSE provides no guidance here

Answering "NO"

Describe any plans to support integration with other authentication and authorization systems.

Answering "YES"

List which systems and versions supported (such as Active Directory, Kerberos, or other LDAP compatible directory) in Additional Info.

Reason for Question

This question is to set account management expectations for the institution. A system that can integrate with existing, vetted solutions has its advantages and may have less administrative overhead. Also, adherence to standards here gives credit to other standards-oriented questions/responses.

Follow-Up Inquiries

If a vendor indicates that a system is stand-alone and cannot integrate with the institution's infrastructure, follow up with maturity questions and ask about other commodity type functions or other system requirements your institution may have.
