Issues Changing Passphrase & Workarounds
How to Avoid the Trap
Occasionally, when you access UAS Online you will be informed that your passphrase is about to expire, at which point you will be redirected to ELMO where you can change your passphrase. This can cause you problems with connections to UAS services on your computer.
| If you are... | Then you should... |
|---|---|
| Logged on to a campus computer while on campus | After changing your passphrase, immediately log off of the computer and log back on using your new passphrase. |
| Logged on to a campus laptop that is off-campus | While off-campus, continue using your old passphrase to sign into the machine only (web services will use the updated passphrase.) When available, bring the computer back to campus and log on using your new passphrase; this will update the cached account on the machine. |
| Using a personal computer on campus | Disconnect and re-add any shared drives or mapped printers using your new passphrase. |
