By Joe Roche on January 29, 2018 Blueface have added  Edugate to its service portfolio. Edugate is HEAnet’s new federated access service that removes the need for multiple usernames and passwords. Edugate works like a digital skeleton key and allows users to use Single Sign-On (SSO) for rapid, secure login to some 2,500 services – including the  Blueface UC Portal – powered by  SAML authentication. Next Generation Access Edugate’s SSO is a must-have for Blueface customers and partners as well as IT managers, registrars researchers, librarians, remote learning coordinators and students, bringing the following  benefits: – Immediate set-up and take-down user-access to all platforms. – Built-in flexibility in line with data compliance – no more login spreadsheets. – Edugate users have access to 182 federated services and through affiliation with  eduGAIN confederation – users can take advantage of an additional 2,452 services. As technology sprawl grows, Blueface is focused on consolidating services with a vision for the future of communication and digital agility.
