IT Professionals,
We recently sent a message about the Azure and Office 365 Portal changing, but this was rolled back and postponed by the Campus Communications Infrastructure team. At this time, we do not have a date of when this change will be made again. We will notify you with a new mailing when this has been determined.

Subject: Azure/Office Portal Authentication Update
IT Professionals:
As per the IT Notice [1], the Domain Administrators will be updating the Office 365 [2] and Azure 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 9am on Sunday, September 29, and may cause some desktop or mobile clients of Microsoft Cloud tools (OneDrive [3], Teams [4], 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.
The initial prompt may or may not be branded (depending on the url used), but will accept the user’s email address. The second page will be branded, and will ask for the account passphrase. The prompt will then follow with a Duo Authentication, also with standard IU branding.
If you experience any problems, please contact sct2@iu.edu.
