Enhancing the Security of Kyushu University SSO-KID Authentication

Authentication for University Information Services Will Be Gradually Migrated to Microsoft Entra ID Starting November 16, 2026

To better protect user accounts from unauthorized access and password-related security threats, Kyushu University is enhancing the security of SSO-KID authentication. As part of this initiative, authentication for various university information services will be gradually migrated to Microsoft Entra ID, the authentication platform used by Microsoft 365. This migration will strengthen protection against unauthorized access by utilizing multi-factor authentication (MFA) and risk-based identity verification.

✔ No changes are required on the part of users.
✔ Please continue to access your services as usual.
✔ The migration schedule for each service will be announced separately.

Migration Period

November 16, 2026, 18:00 - October 2027 (planned)
The migration will be carried out gradually on a service-by-service basis. During this period, users may see either the current SSO authentication screen or the Microsoft Entra ID sign-in screen, depending on the service being accessed.
