Today’s Enterprise Technology & Services (ET&S) Tech Briefing contains new information and training opportunities.
ET&S to Enable Seamless Single Sign-On (SSO) for USNH Banner Xtender, Application Navigator, and Admin Pages on Tuesday, May 9
To Know: On Tuesday, May 9, from 7:00 – 8:00 a.m., ET&S will enable SSO for USNH Banner Xtender, Application Navigator, and Admin Pages internally-facing pages. During this time, these applications will not be available. When you log in to these applications, the page will look different. Here are a few other things to know:
- The abovementioned applications require refreshing your authentication session more frequently than other Microsoft SSO-enabled apps.
- If you log out of these applications, it will also sign you out of other Microsoft MFA-enabled applications, such as your email, Canvas, and Zoom
- ET&S recommends using a separate browser for these Banner applications to avoid being signed out of your other applications.
- This will not impact Webcat.
To Do: If you are having trouble signing into the applications listed above on or after Tuesday, May 9, please clear your browser cache and cookies and close your browser. Click here for instructions.
Box-to-M365 Migration Nearing Completion
To Know: The UNH Box-to-Microsoft 365 Migration is nearing completion. As previously communicated, Enterprise Technology & Services (ET&S) will start removing UNH student, faculty, and staff login access to Box at UNH on Friday, May 19. This process will take 10-14 days.
Over the last two years, ET&S copied personal UNH Box files for students, faculty, and staff to your Microsoft OneDrive or Department SharePoint. Read this article if you need help accessing OneDrive.
To Do: If you still have Box Drive or Box Sync installed on your computer to access your UNH account, you must remove these applications.
NameCoach NamePages
To Know: NameCoach is a tool that allows students, faculty, and staff to record the pronunciation of their names and listen to the pronunciation of other people’s names to ensure they are saying it correctly. NamePages are specific webpages that can be utilized for end-of-term events this year by uploading user lists and requesting they provide a name pronunciation.
