What is CAD?
Campus Active Directory (AD) is campus' username/password authenticator. This is what handles your NetID login to campus systems like MyUW, email ending in wisc.edu, Teams, WebEx, etc. SMPH IIT for DOM will now be piggy-backing off campus' AD instead of maintaining our own.
Why are we Migrating to CAD?
Security
Fewer accounts to manage means there will be fewer points of entry for bad actor
Simplicity
Having one account to manage access to your systems means fewer passwords to remember
Resource Management
Centralizing account management gives us more resources to focus on other more school-focused tasks
