About Single Sign-On
- Single Sign-On (SSO) allows you to sign in once per session for all configured Metropolitan State applications.
- Single Sign-On alters how you enter your username:
- Students: StarID@go.minnstate.edu
- Employees: StarID@minnstate.edu
- SSO means that signing into one application with your MinnState login allows you to access other Metropolitan State resources without having to sign in multiple times.
- SSO can reduce the number of times you need to login during the day and provides access to other services and websites for collaboration and sharing.
- You will not need to re-enter your minnstate login for those applications that are participating in SSO.
- NOTE: The only time you may be asked to re-enter your username and password may be if you have changed your StarID password recently.
- Some applications will still require you to enter your StarID and password. These applications often have higher risk data and confidential information such as Payroll.
- If you log into any Minnesota State (minnstate.edu) provided resources, you may have to change your username from starID@minnstate.edu to starID@metrostate.edu to log in to a Metropolitan State University resource.
What does Single Sign-On look like?
You have probably seen these Sign in and Enter password screens when logging into your Metro State e-mail.
Steps for logging into Single Sign-On:
- At the Sign in screen enter your username and then select Next.
- Students: StarID@go.minnstate.edu
- Employees: StarID@minnstate.edu
- You will then be prompted to enter your StarID password. Enter your password and then select Sign in.
- After selecting the Sign in button on you will be prompted for MFA verification.
- Upon successful MFA verification, you will be asked if you want to, Stay signed in?
- After selecting "Yes" to stay signed in, you are now signed in using SSO. This will allow you to sign into other SSO applications without entering your credentials again.
