IDMS (O-Key) is the identity account of each individual who has a formal affiliation with Oklahoma State University. The O-Key credentials - Banner ID, O-Key username, email address, and password - are joined in the O-Key account to provide secure single sign-on access to IT and other services. Administratively, O-Key is used to manage access to services based upon the roles of each individual associated with OSU.

 

Details

The O-Key credentials are used throughout the IT systems and many others to provide secure single sign-on access to IT services such as my.okstate.edu, the Software Distribution Center, Virtual Labs, the wireless network, Canvas, and many others. This information ties to the ID card for access to campus point-of-sale purchases, authorized controlled access doors, and more.

End-users use O-Key to:

  • Reset passwords every 120 days

  • Set up email

  • Set up confidential contacts in case of an emergency

  • Sign up for Campus Alerts - users can receive the alerts about emergencies on campus via a voice message and/or text
