IT Professionals:
As per the IT Notice [1], the Domain Administrators will be updating the Office 365 [2] and Azure [3] Portals in the Indiana University tenant to use the Azure AD authentication method, instead of the Standard IU Login portal (formerly CAS). This change will support Exchange Online testing, and allow for additional account security settings in both domains.
The change will take place at 4pm on Wednesday, October 23, and may cause some desktop or mobile clients of Microsoft Cloud tools (OneDrive [4], Teams [5], Whiteboard, etc.) to prompt users for re-authentication. Client installations of the Office Suite, on premise Exchange, or other local office tools (Project, Visio, etc.) will not be affected.
Additionally, users accessing the https://office.iu.edu portal, or directly logging into Azure (https://portal.azure.com), or SharePoint (https://indiana.sharepoint.com) will be presented with a new series of login prompts, illustrated by the images below.
Depending on the URL used, the user may be presented with a standard Microsoft prompt or an IU branded Microsoft prompt: both will accept username@iu.edu. Once the user has supplied their username@iu.edu the prompt should be IU branded (for affected services) and will ask for the user’s account passphrase. Finally, after a user has successfully entered their username@iu.edu and account passphrase they will be presented with an IU branded DUO prompt to complete their login.
If you experience any problems, please contact sct2@iu.edu.
