Central Authentication Service

Analytics
The University uses a central login service (CAS) for the majority of University systems including ELMS (online learning platform), email, etc. An employee’s directory ID and password are the login information for those systems. iSchool HR (ischoolhr@umd.edu) will provide new employees with a University ID (9 digit number), which is necessary to create a directory ID.
The Division of IT requires a multi-factor authentication process for all systems behind the CAS firewall. Multi-factor authentication requires individuals to have access to their directory ID and password and a mobile device, hardware token, phone that can receive voice calls, or a one-time use code. Instructions for setting up multi-factor authentication are available at Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) | Division of Information Technology
