How to login to Authentik Single Sign On

What is Authentik?

Authentik is the DC Tech staff sign-in system. It provides a single place to sign in to many of the applications and services you use at work.

Instead of remembering a separate username and password for every supported application, you can use your DC Tech account through Authentik.

Two Ways You May See Authentik

There are two common ways to use Authentik.

1. An Application Sends You to Authentik

When you open an application that uses DC Tech's single sign-on, the application may automatically redirect you to the Authentik login page.

Open the application you need. If you are not already signed in, you will be redirected to Authentik. Enter your DC Tech username and password. Complete any additional verification if requested. After signing in, Authentik will automatically send you back to the application you were trying to access.

You do not need to sign in separately to Authentik first.

If you are already signed in to Authentik, the application may open automatically without asking for your password again.

2. Open Authentik First

You can also open the DC Tech Authentik Staff Portal directly.

After signing in, you will see the applications that have been assigned to your account.

This is especially useful when you:

Need to open a staff application but do not know or remember its web address. Want one place to find your available company applications. Need to switch between several applications. Want to see which applications you currently have access to.

Simply select the application from the Authentik portal, and Authentik will open it for you.

Your Applications

The applications shown in Authentik are based on your account and permissions.

You may see applications for:

Core Applications
Frequently used applications available to staff.

DC Tech, DC Tech Security, Northstar Connectivity, R12 Services LLC
Applications and services related to each business.

Servers & Tools / Infrastructure
Administrative and technical tools. These applications are only displayed to staff who have the appropriate permissions.

Not every employee will see the same applications.

Important

Never share your DC Tech password with another employee.

Your Authentik account may provide access to multiple company systems. Always sign in using your own account so that access and activity are associated with the correct employee.

If an application you need is missing from Authentik, you receive an Access Denied message, or your login is not working, contact your system administrator for assistance.

Quick Summary

Opening an application directly?
If it uses Authentik, it can redirect you to Authentik to sign in and then return you to the application.

Don't know the application's link?
Open the Authentik Staff Portal, sign in, and select the application from your available apps.

Already signed in?
