SDE: Reminder - School District Reporting Site Migrating to Single Sign-On

Administrators,

The anticipated shut-down date for the School District Reporting Site (SDRS) is Nov. 1, 2013. The Office of Management and Enterprise Services (OMES) has already migrated all users to the Single Sign-On System.

We are hopeful that you are already using this system. We have been assured by OMES that all issues some may have experienced when first accessing the Single Sign-On system have been resolved. If, however, you experience any problems, please contact the OMES Helpdesk – contact information is listed below.

If you don’t know what your credentials are for the Single Sign-On System, please use the forgot username, forgot password links on the website to retrieve your credentials. 

The benefits of moving to a Single Sign-On system are that it will give you one account to manage reporting among all school departments as well as shared reporting roles across districts. This system gives you the benefit of accessing all of your SDRS applications, all of your WAVE information and OCAS information.

The following message has been displayed  on the School District Reporting Site for some time in preparation of this move.

 

***************IMPORTANT MESSAGE***************

What is happening?

OMES has migrated user accounts from the School District Reporting Site to the new SDE Single Sign-On system and limited access to certain user administration functions on this site, until such time as this site can be decommissioned. All current users who had valid email addresses within the School District Reporting Site should have received an email with instructions on how to proceed. Users who had invalid email addresses had their accounts migrated and should login to the new Single Sign-On system to update their contact and password reset information. The new Single Sign-On site is located at the following URL:

https://sdeweb01.sde.ok.gov/SSO2

Within the next few weeks, the page you are viewing will be deactivated and you will be required to access reporting applications through the new Single Sign-On system. This system will remain in place for a short time to assist those who may need to consolidate user accounts within the new system, or who may not have been aware of this change due to their contact information being out of date or invalid.

Why is this happening?

The Office of Management & Enterprise Systems along with the State Department of Education are migrating to this new Single Sign-On to increase security with respect to federal and state law, as well as reduce the number of logins that each user has traditionally had to maintain within these disconnected systems. Please remember that if you have a teacher certification, your OECS certification number may be associated with your account. It is recommended that each user in the system have their own account, and a superintendent or a district administrator assigned by a superintendent may assign the appropriate roles to these accounts. It is highly recommended that usernames and passwords are not shared, due to the need to conform with security policies, best practices, and applicable laws. A new user account can be requested at any time through the “Click here to create an account” link on the homepage of the Single Sign-On system.
