Welcome to the University of Birmingham WhoIS authentication service.
WhoIs
allows University of Birmingham websites to authenticate users against the
central University Directory Service using a Secure LDAP call. The service can
also pass details about the authenticated user back to the web
application that called it. (e.g. Full name)
WhoIs has been designed to be
very simple to implement, all that is needed is a simple Include File on every
page you wish to authenticate. WhoIs remembers the exact page from which the user originated and passes them back to that page after they have passed
authentication, thus allowing users to bookmark authenticated pages without
causing errors. When you click the link below you will be forwarded to a secure
site.
Click YES when it asks you to accept the Site certificate. This is just a key it
uses to encrypt the data you send to the site. You will then need to enter your
University username and password (This is your new Active Directory / edirectory Username
and Password). If you don't know these details contact the
IT Service Desk.
Show me How it works....
If you would like to register your website to authenticate against the
University of Birmingham directory please contact the AD Support Team.
