What?

We are implementing a new User Identity Management Solution which aims to provide a robust, user-friendly identity management service with a single sign-on (SSO) solution and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), ensuring seamless and secure access to RCPI's products and services.


This will mean there will be changes to the appearance of the RCPI Website login page and the RCPI Digital Hub. 


The project will deliver:


A new and more secure account login experience:

Users will be requested to select a primary email address to validate and access RCPI offerings and services. The introduction of social federation options (Google, Apple ID, Microsoft) will also be made available. This means you will be able to log in to your RCPI account using an existing Google, Apple or Microsoft ID/Account. 


New registration screens

All RCPI account holders will need to update and validate their account details to securely access our products and services.




Enhanced security and compliance

The project will deliver enhanced security and compliance with centralised access management and Multi-Factor- Authentication (MFA) with users requested to verify account access via an App, SMS, or email)


Migration to a secure cloud-based solution

The migration of existing RCPI accounts from on-premises directory to security cloud-based solution, providing a single view of our users across all data sources, offerings, and services.



Why?

The goal of implementing a new User Identity Management Solution is to enhance the user experience for Trainees, Learners, Members, Fellows, and Staff (TLMF). This will provide users with added security while accessing RCPI services.


The introduction of this new system will provide many benefits for RCPI and its users, including:


  • improved security across RCPI systems and digital identity management
  • a more joined-up and intuitive user experience.
  • seamless single sign-on across multiple RCPI system and services
  • eliminated password fatigue by allowing social network user logins.
  • self-service password reset (SSPR) to alleviate IT helpdesk pressures.
  • scalability and readiness for future user identity use cases.
  • introduction of a robust digital identity framework that is foundational for future projects and initiatives.
