Students, faculty or staff with existing Wolfram ID accounts will be prompted to enter their Wolfram-specific credentials to link the two accounts when they first use SSO. The following image is a generic sample:įaculty and staff can use the same process to access Mathematica Online. Students are then granted immediate access to Mathematica Online.

They go directly to the Wolfram Cloud, enter their campus email address and are automatically redirected to a campus login screen to enter their campus credentials. With SSO, students bypass both of these steps and use a familiar campus login to make the process even smoother. The process requires students to seek out campus-hosted instructions to explain how to request access and immediately use Mathematica Online. While the process provides access immediately without any human involvement, it requires students to be knowledgeable about two different websites: for the account creation, as well as a URL starting with “” specific to the campus site license. Students and faculty face the same organizational challenge with various technologies in their courses.įor those not yet using SSO, students create an account, called a Wolfram ID, in our system, set a Wolfram-specific password and then use this information to request Mathematica Online to give them instant access. This allows communities to use a primary campus login and password for Mathematica Online and eliminates the need to remember a completely separate login and password. This is where single sign-on (SSO) comes in, which is an approach many websites take to help students and faculty consolidate passwords. We hope a new feature of Mathematica Online has made this a little less daunting for you in your educational settings. We also know it’s wise practice to use a variety of passwords and to change them frequently. If you’re like me (which I’m sure you are in this regard), you use many online tools and websites that require a login and password.

I’ll begin this blog post by admitting that I personally have forgotten many passwords in my lifetime.
