Moodle Login Page - Temporary Fix

ITS has received feedback  that some Moodle users may be experiencing issues when accessing Moodle for the first time each day.  We have identified an issue with the login page and are working to resolve the issue.  In the meantime, ITS has implemented an alternate login page for Moodle.  Until a solution is in place, you may notice a different login page for Moodle.

Please report any issues to ITS@manhattan.edu

JasperNet SSO Login Page Updates - Thursday 7/14 #GreenMeansGo

Updates to the JasperNet SSO Login Page will be deployed on Wednesday evening 7/13.  As a result, the JasperNet SSO Login Page will have a new look.  All users will be prompted to re-authenticate (re-login) after the update.  The new JasperNet SSO Login Page will now display a secure green bar in the address bar denoting a trusted secure site.

The updated page was previewed in the fall semester.  The update was postponed due to an identified issue that affected some users.  All reported issues have been resolved and the update will be made available on Wednesday evening 7/13.

JasperNet Login Page Maintenance - TONIGHT 9:00-10:00PM

ITS will be applying an update to the JasperNet login page tonight between 9:00-10:00PM.  During this time, we expect a brief interruption of only a few minutes.  During the brief interruption, new login attempts to JasperNet services will be unavailable.  Users already connected to JasperNet services will be unaffected.

JsaperNet SignOn Page - Intermittent Interruptions

JasperNet users access the new JasperNet SignOn page may experience intermittent interruptions during periods of peak utilization while we continue to tune the new system.  ITS has been made aware that some users experienced a temporary error on Tuesday during peak periods of usage.  In the case that you receive an error accessing the new SignOn page, please refresh the page until a permanent solution is implemented.   This issue does not affect JasperNet users AFTER they have successfully signed in to the new page.  Thank you for your patience as we fine-tune this new enhancement.

Update:
ITS has identified the cause of the issue.  We have moved Banner services (INB, SSB, and Workflow) back to the "old" login page as a temporary measure to avoid further interruptions.  A fix has been deployed and is currently being tested.  We hope to move Banner services back to the new login page the week of 10/19.

Updates to JasperNet SignOn Page #GreenMeansGo

You may have noticed that the JasperNet SignOn page looked different this morning.  That's because a major update to the JasperNet SSO (Single SignOn) system was implemented over the weekend.

The updates applied to the JasperNet SignOn page are part of an effort to raise awareness of phishing attacks and provide JasperNet users a more secure way to access their accounts.

Over the course of the coming weeks, you will see more information about the updates applied to the new signon page and ways to keep you account information safe - including only providing your JasperNet username and password when you see the green Manhattan College bar in the URL #GreenMeansGo .

For more information about the upgrade, please see the project page on ITSBlog:

TONIGHT: Updates to JasperNet Signin Page #GreenMeansGo

The JasperNet Signin page will receive a major update Sunday evening 10/11/2015.  After the update, JasperNet users will be presented with new signin page with the following updates:

New Address (URL) - secure.manhattan.edu #GreenMeansGo

Possibly the most important aspect of the update is that the new login system will be hosted on a site providing "Extended Validation" to web browsers - which means a more secure experience for you....  After the upgrade, look for the green "Manhattan College" in the address bar to know that you are entering your JasperNet username and password on a secure site.

New Look and Feel

The updaated page also comes with a new format that has been streamlined for mobile browsers and includes more information anout important campus events.  The login box has been optimized to include helpful inforamtion when accessing your account.  In addtion, a new events column has been added to the right side of the page to highlight major campus events.

Updates to JasperNet SignOn Page #GreenMeansGo

The JasperNet SignOn page will be updated the week of 10/12 and will receive a new name - https://secure.manhattan.edu

Accompanying the new name is a new way to identify the JasperNet SignOn page as a secure site to provide your password.  The new site will take advantage of "Extended Validation" (EV) SSL certificate technology.  By using an EV certificate, secure.manhattan.edu will turn the URL bar of your browser green and display the name "Manhattan College".

What does EV Look like?

EV trusted sites will display a green section in the address bar that may look slightly different on different browsers, but always look for the green "lock" icon.  #GreenMeansGo

Going forward, ITS will be working to move ALL JasperNet services to the new #GreenMeansGo login page on secure.manhattan.edu.  ALL sites that ask for your JasperNet password will eventually be moved to the new login page.
