Hello All,
We are going through a phase of discussions with some key people on campus to decide on the SSO to INB module in Banner. We do not have Banner fully functional yet but we are getting there. We already have a test instance running. One of the team members strongly feels that we shouldn't be going through the hastle of SSO to INB. I was just wondering what would be the percentage of us who would agree to the above statement.
My take on this argument is - why do we bother to buy two tightly integrated products and then decide not to go for a SSO. I was told that INB would be used by a small subset of population on campus but i would still like them to have the ability to use portal for all their needs. We strive our best to serve each and every individual on campus - i think this is almost as ridiculous as not giving a student his authentication credentials to view/obtain his records citing the example of numbers (because he is just one - he is not powerful enough to make some administrative decisions - he can be ignored).
But i was just wondering, how many of us actually use SSO to INB? If you could please respond - that would be great.
Thank you,
SSO to Banner INB and SSB are the best choice
You are right in your statement. The best possible scenario is to integrate those products. It is relatively simple and can be conditionally exposed to end users based on their roles in the system.....for that small subset of users. Push for this. You and they'll be glad you did.
