Library News and Events
Passphrase
Expiration Notice IU will
phase in expirations for any passphrase that is
more than two years old, beginning on Monday,
September 10. Detailed information on this
process can be found in the Knowledge Base (KB) at
http://uits.iu.edu/page/bbtp. This
process will apply to all students, faculty, and
staff at IU's eight campuses. Users will
begin getting warnings, months in advance of the
expiration date. Users who don't change
their passphrases by this date will immediately
lose access to CAS-supported resources such as
Oncourse, OneStart, ePTO, OTP authentication and
PeopleSoft. Affected users will regain
access after completing the passphrase reset,
using the Self-Service Passphrase Reset tool (
https://passphrase.iu.edu).
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
Old passwords
and passphrases can jeopardize the security of
personal and university data. Passphrase
expirations help protect this data against hacking
and misuse.
HOW WILL THIS BE ENFORCED?
Passphrase
expiration will only be enforced via CAS, IU's
Central Authentication System. Network IDs
will not be locked or disable. This means you will
still be able to log in to non-CAS services such
as workstations, email, and VPN.
