Planned Update

Adobe Login Screen Update

On December 18th at 9:00 a.m., we will be updating how Adobe authenticates users. Currently it accomplishes this using Shibboleth. This update will switch to the Microsoft Azure (Entra) SSO affording greater ease of single sign-on between apps using this method. While the login screens may look slightly different, there will be no impact to the Adobe experience.
