Authentication Methods

Integration authentication methods have advantages over existing ebs SSO (single sign-on) mechanisms, for example:

  • Access is not restricted to the ebs host location

  • Available to users that are not signed into a device on your network

  • Compatible with Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) methods

Select from the following to view supported modules:

  • The Login button supports access with ebs credentials.

    Clicking the Studying at tribal college? Please login here button allows authentication with Microsoft Entra ID credentials.
