myFranklin Single Sign-on FAQ

What is the Franklin Single Sign-on Project?

The Franklin University Single Sign-on project is an ongoing effort to integrate the major account databases at Franklin so that users can use a single login and password where ever possible.

This will help us improve the security of our systems and simplify access for our users.

Does this mean that I'll log in once each day and not be prompted for a password again?

No. The variety of the systems and software we use at Franklin makes a true, end-to-end single sign-on system impractical at this time.

Where will I need to utilize my myFranklin Single Sign-on username and password?

You will need to use your personal account to login on all desktop computers in all labs, classrooms, and kiosks at Franklin University Locations.  You will no longer be able to use a generic login for these systems. Also the following systems currently use my single sign-on account:

• Desktop logins for labs, kiosks, and classrooms.
• myFranklin
• Student email
• Campus wireless access.
• Computer Science servers (einstein, codd, etc).

How do I change my password?

Login to myFranklin and select the “My Account” tab.   Follow the instructions to change your password.  This will change your password on all systems that support single sign-on. 

What are the password requirements for single sign-on?

The single sign-on project has adopted the same requirements for password strength as Student accounts require for myFranklin.

• Passwords must be 8 - 10 characters in length.
• Passwords must contain at least 1 upper case alpha character, 1 lower case alpha character, and 2 digit or special characters.
• Spaces, &, %, $, * and + are not allowed.
