Coming in Q4, NexPort Campus 7.0 introduces a transformative set of identity and security features — Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect. These capabilities unlock new levels of partner integration, user access control, and login simplicity, setting a new standard for digital trust across the NexPort ecosystem.
What’s New?
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
MFA adds a critical layer of protection by requiring users to verify their identity with a secondary method (e.g., mobile app, SMS) in addition to a password. This makes unauthorized access significantly harder.
Why it matters to partners:
- Reduces risks of unauthorized access to shared systems.
- Helps meet cybersecurity compliance requirements (e.g., NIST, SOC2, FedRAMP).
- Allows configurable enforcement for sensitive roles and data.
OAuth 2.0
OAuth 2.0 enables secure, token-based delegated access to NexPort APIs — no password sharing required. Partner systems can now securely connect and request scoped access to data through user-approved flows.
Why it matters to partners:
- Powers real-time, permissioned data sharing with LMS, SIS, and analytics platforms.
- Simplifies integration with your applications through a standards-based, secure model.
- Ensures users remain in control of what data they share.
OpenID Connect (OIDC)
Built on OAuth, OpenID Connect adds authentication to enable full Single Sign-On (SSO). It allows users to log into NexPort using existing credentials from trusted providers (Google, Microsoft, Okta, CAC/PIV, etc.).
Why it matters to partners:
- Seamless SSO between your systems and NexPort Campus.
- Reduces login friction and help desk calls.
- Supports federation with enterprise and government IdPs.
Built for the NexPort Marketplace
These enhancements supercharge the connection between NexPort Campus and the NexPort Marketplace:
- Cross-platform login: One login for Campus and Marketplace.
- Consent-based data sharing: Marketplace tools can securely access user data with OAuth tokens.
- Federated identity: Partners can authenticate users using their own systems and identities.
Connect with More Systems, Effortlessly
Support for industry standards means NexPort Campus 7.0 will connect more easily than ever with:
- Government and educational IdPs (SAML, OIDC, LDAP).
- Partner-developed apps using OAuth tokens.
- CRM, SIS, LMS, and proctoring tools.
Whether you’re building custom integrations or syncing data, it’s now easier and safer.
A Login Experience Users Will Love
The new authentication framework ensures a more frictionless experience:
- Fewer passwords to remember.
- One-click login with trusted providers.
- Device trust options and streamlined redirects.
This makes NexPort Campus feel more integrated — and less like another system to manage.
Final Thoughts
NexPort Campus 7.0 is about more than just security — it’s about unlocking partnership, interoperability, and user satisfaction. These enhancements will allow our partners to build deeper integrations, automate identity management, and offer a best-in-class login experience.
Whether you’re delivering content, managing enrollments, or building custom applications, the new identity platform makes collaboration with NexPort easier than ever.
Coming Q4. Let’s build better access together.
