Browser Navigation Issue
You’ve arrived at this page for a few possible reasons:
-
Using the Back Button: You pressed the Back button while exploring a secure website or application.
-
Bookmarking Mishap: It’s possible that you mistakenly bookmarked the web login form instead of the intended website. Alternatively, you may have followed a link created by someone who made the same error.
If this goes unaddressed, it could lead to:
- Browser Errors: Some browsers might encounter issues.
- Unintended Redirects: You may find yourself back on the website you were trying to leave.
To resolve this issue, please review your browsing history, bookmarks, or links and make the necessary adjustments.
What is single sign-on (SSO)?
Single sign-on (SSO) allows you to sign on with your ObieID and gain access to multiple applications and services. This means you’ll have fewer passwords to remember and have to log in less frequently. All of the applications available through OberView use single sign-on and more services will be added over time.
Do Not Bookmark This Page
Single sign-on works by authenticating your ObieID and password and then redirecting you back to the service you came from. If you bookmark this page, Oberlin’s single sign-on software (called Shibboleth) won’t know which service to send you back to, and will display an error.
Keep Your Account Secure
To protect your privacy, completely exit your web browser when finished. Remember that because many Oberlin applications are now single sign-on enabled, leaving your browser window open gives others access to all of your Oberlin applications.
