Learn how to use Single Sign-On (SSO) to access your At Your Service Online (AYSO) account.

Until recently, UCSD faculty and staff have needed separate usernames and passwords to access SSO and AYSO. You now have the option of using SSO to log into AYSO. This means you'll have to remember only one password to navigate between At Your Service and UCSD Business Systems, and you won't be prompted to log in again.

1. Register for SSO and AYSO accounts.

2. Log in to UCSD's link to AYSO.

  • Go to AYSO using this URL: http://ayso.ucsd.edu.
    • If you're already logged into SSO, you won't see the SSO log-in screen. Proceed to step 3.
    • If you aren't already logged into SSO, enter your SSO username and password.

3. Complete the UC Trust Validation information, if prompted.

  • If you don't see the UC Trust Validation screen shown below, proceed to step 4.
  • If you see the UC Trust Validation screen, confirm the security requirements by entering this information:
    • Your employee ID
    • The last 5 digits of your Social Security number
    • Your birthday

    Note: If you've entered the correct information and the system does not recognize you, contact your benefits representative to verify your information in the employee system.

4. Complete the AYSO sign-in screen.

  • At the AYSO sign-in screen, enter your AYSO password.

5. Choose how to access AYSO in the future.

  • On the UC Trust Authorization Settings screen shown below, you'll see 2 choices for accessing AYSO in the future.
    • To log into AYSO with your SSO, click the first radio button. This enables you to navigate between UCSD business applications and AYSO using just your SSO.
    • To enter your AYSO password every time you access AYSO, click the second radio button. You'll need to enter your AYSO password anytime you access the site, even if you're logged into SSO.
