Johns Hopkins Enterprise Directory (JHED)

The Johns Hopkins Enterprise Directory (JHED) is a central repository for identity information for faculty, staff, and students within the Johns Hopkins Institutions.  Identity information includes but is not limited to your First Name, Last Name, Title, Phone and Work Address.  The directory is populated nightly from the various Systems of Record (SOR) across the institution.  Examples of a few SOR's include; HopkinsOne and the Student Systems. 

JHED ID (LID)

The identity information collected from the SOR's are used to automatically create a JHED Logon ID (LID).  The format used to create a LID is as follows: the first character in the first name, up to the last six characters in the last name followed by a number.  The JHED ID's take the format of jdoe112. 

• First Name : John
• Last Name: Doe
• JHED ID = Jdoe112
