Camosun College Implements Multiple Directory Integration for myCampus

Nov. 10, 2010 - PRLog -- Camosun College, located in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, has implemented CampusEAI Consortium's new Multiple Directory Integration on their myCampus portal system. The College is the first CampusEAI member to implement this feature, which is available to all institutions currently utilizing myCampus 6.4.1 and future versions.
In earlier versions of myCampus, users could authenticate from a single directory. Through Multiple Directory Integration, Camosun College authenticates users across multiple directories, enabling faculty, staff and students to access myCampus.

Camosun College's Multiple Directory Integration is configured to meet the institution's individual needs including:
•   Integrating directories from multiple campuses into the myCampus portal
•   Providing access to users across multiple directories
•   Avoiding investment into identity management solutions.

Multiple Directory Integration should be considered by:
•   Institutions that keep students, faculty and staff on separate LDAP systems
•   Institutions with multiple campuses
•   Institutions interested in presenting "mash ups" pulled from multiple data sources
•   Institutions that want to avoid investing in identity management solutions

"The new Multiple Directory Integration feature in myCampus 6.4.1 has allowed Camosun College to extend our myCampus student portal implementation to include faculty and staff," said Murray Smith, Manager of Systems and Software Development at Camosun College. "This has been a significant impact on the uptake of the portal as staff and faculty can now more easily communicate with students."

"We are pleased that Camosun College has implemented Multiple Directory Integration for the myCampus portal," said Anjli Jain, Executive Director of the CampusEAI Consortium. "This feature will provide a central location for information, as well as increased myCampus access for students, faculty, staff and any other Camosun College users."
