Information

The ICT will introduce an Integrated Authentication System (Single Sign-On) on Saturday, September 7, 2024 (preliminary date: September 8, 2024).

With the introduction of the Integrated Authentication System, each of the services listed below will be accessible without individual login operations using Sophia ICT Account ID/password.
In addition, the password reissue procedure will also be partially changed.

*What is Single Sign-On (SSO)?
Currently, users need to log in to each system such as Loyola, Moodle and Sophia Email but a Single Sign-On system allows users to access these services directly with a single login operation. This eliminates the need to enter IDs and passwords each time, increasing convenience.

Systems covered by the Integrated Authentication System

The systems covered by the Integrated Authentication System are as follows;

• Sophia Mail
• Loyola
• Moodle
• Self-Learning Portfolio
• CaLabo MX
• My OPAC
• Mailing List System
• Zoom（Starts in January, 2025）

Services those are not listed above, such as COM classroom PCs and VPN , require login operations each time using the same ID and password as before.

Account Integration (September 7, 2024 -)

Due to the switchover to the Integrated Authentication System, the above system will be unavailable during certain times.
Therefore, it may be available at different times or may have been changed to a new login method.
*Details of the switchover will be provided separately.

Change or Reissue of Password

Currently, Loyola passwords can be reissued at the Loyola login screen, or the Center for Academic Affairs is handling the reissuing Loyola passwords. However, after introducing the Integrated Authentication System, Loyola passwords will be discontinued and only Sophia ICT accounts will be used so that the ICT Office will reissue passwords. If you lose your password after September 7,2024, please come to ICT Office with your student card.

Password Reminder Registration Request

By registering for a password reminder in Sophia Integrated Database System, you can reissue a password without coming to the ICT Office. If you have not yet registered for a password reminder, please do so. For details on how to register, please refer to the following URL.
