Suggested SSO web text and logos

Monday, February 3rd, 2014:

The majority of applications and services across Tufts University have successfully adopted SSO (simplified sign-on). As SSO (Tufts Username / Tufts Password) is the primary authentication method at Tufts University, we are phasing out the visual reminder by no longer including the simplified sign-on logo on Tufts login pages. If you manage a page that uses the simplified sign-on logo, please remove the logo from the page.

We recommend using the input field labels "Tufts Username" and "Tufts Password" for all SSO-enabled services.

In cases where we cannot change the input field labels, we place on the page the message; "Please use your Tufts Username and Tufts Password to log in".

We are also standardizing the spelling of "Log In" and "Log Out" as 2 words when used as a verb such as on buttons, and "Login" and "Logout" when used as a noun.

You can use the CSS code for the Log In button: Web Standards - Buttons

Below is an example of a standardized, mobile friendly login page:

• Change all instances of password labels ("LAN", "Network", "Trumpeter", "Email", "LDAP", "ED", "AD", "Active Directory", "Webmail", etc.) to Tufts Password.

• Replace UTLN with Tufts Username (UTLN) and, over time, drop the use of UTLN.

• Place a copy of the Simplified Sign-On logo on your web and documentation pages for all SSO-enabled services, along with text, such as "Use your Tufts Password on this site."

Tufts Simplified Sign-on eliminates the need for what has been known as the “Trumpeter password,” the password that is used to access Trumpeter email, Tufts library services, Spark, Elists, TUSK and many other systems. Users will access all systems that now use the Trumpeter password with their Active Directory (AD) password, which is currently used for logging into MS Windows computers, Microsoft Exchange, Tufts VPN, and network storage (e.g. P:, Q:, and R: drives). Going forward, your AD password will be called your “Tufts Password” because it will cover so many systems.

All logos have a transparent background.
