2. 10/25/20152 Background Multiple applications at the faculty use different sign on systems to identify the users. Multiple applications at the faculty use different sign on systems to identify the users. All users are students, staff or faculty members that have accounts on department server or at the main Technion systems such as T2, TX, Department Active Directory etc. All users are students, staff or faculty members that have accounts on department server or at the main Technion systems such as T2, TX, Department Active Directory etc.

3. 10/25/20153 Why Bother? Each application must identify the user by creating and managing user profiles. Each application must identify the user by creating and managing user profiles. User that uses several applications has independent profile at each application (username, password, user information). User that uses several applications has independent profile at each application (username, password, user information). When changing some profile details user must do so at all existing profiles, which makes that simple update complex time consuming operation. When changing some profile details user must do so at all existing profiles, which makes that simple update complex time consuming operation. It also results in users that prefer not to update their profiles at all or to update profile on only some of the profiles. It also results in users that prefer not to update their profiles at all or to update profile on only some of the profiles. As a result several profiles of the same user contain different (not updated) information about the user. More over, user has different passwords for each profile.
