The New Outlook Web Access

An enhancement to our web based faculty/staff email system is "forms based authentication" (FBA).  FBA is a method of authentication that enhances security and performance for our Outlook Web Access (OWA) web based email system. 

There will be changes that you should be aware of:

·        When accessing email remotely, you will see a new customized logon page (shown below) where you will type in your username and password.  It is no longer necessary to begin your username with “ADMIN_NT.”

·        The new logon page also provides custom security options to OWA users. 

o       Selecting Public or shared computer will ensure that users are logged off after a short period of inactivity to reduce the risk of someone else accessing your account.

o       Selection of the Private computer option should be limited to home or office computer.
