In
the mid-1990s, UC Davis developed and implemented a central
campus authentication service for access to computing and
network resources. This service implements the Kerberos
password that you use to enter MyUCDavis. In the late 1990's,
campus technical staff, using the campus Kerberos system,
developed a Web authentication system, referred to as "Distauth."
Distauth provides Web browser authentication support along
with access lists for all secure campus systems.
