All About BlazerIDs

What is a BlazerID?

A BlazerID is a computer login name that the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is deploying campus-wide. It is roughly equivalent to the screenname/”buddy list”/username identifier you may have used to access online services such as Yahoo!, America Online, or MSN.

Why do I need a BlazerID?

A number of network and computer services around UAB currently accept or require a BlazerID for login, and several more will begin using it in the future. The goal is to ultimately have your BlazerID serve as the sole identifier that allows you to securely access all of UAB's online information services and portals.
