CSULB SSO

California State University Long Beach or CSULB has a thing that makes it possible for the students, the faculty and the staff to access more than one service by logging in once at a single URL. This kind of thing is called Single Sign On, which is also more known as SSO in short. The statement means there is no need for the students, the faculty or the staff to log in to each service offered by the university, which is good as it can reduce the time and energy.
