What is Distauth?
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.
