CollegiateLink - Student Life Content Management
Presenter
Lori Blewett
Discussion
Lori Blewett presented on how Student Life uses ''ColigateLink'' . A service that they use to manage SL events and club activities.
https://austincc.collegiatelink.net/
Lori requested that users be able to log into the website using their ACCeID rather than OpenID or some other authentication method due to the accessibility issues that these methods have.
The main issue facing this is that a third-party non ACC website would be authenticating against ACC user data
The committee approved this request and directed Lori and Student Life to work with IT to allow this to happen.
Additional Note: Margaret Peloquin stated that ACC library users logged into third-party database repositories with their ACCeID which authenticated using LDAP.
