Important WVU services inaccessible March 10 for quarterly security update
Faculty, staff and students on all campuses will be unable to log into many important services requiring WVU Login credentials 7 a.m.-noon Sunday, March 10 during quarterly security patching to the single sign-on system.
Services affected will include but are not limited to Portal; STAR and STAR-related systems; eCampus; Virtual Private Network (VPN); MAP; Applaud; Salesforce; High Performance Computing; Kuali (WVU+kc); WVUHire (Taleo); Mountaineer Marketplace; MyExpenses; FTP and bulk mailing services such as LISTSERV; and Zoom meetings that require a WVU login. The login.wvu.edu self-service site will also be unavailable, so you will be unable to claim accounts, change passwords, generate Duo codes, or update your recovery contact information during this time.
Several services that authenticate through a different system (Active Directory, ADFS) should be available, including: the WVU.Encrypted, WVU.Guest and WVU.Play wireless networks; Microsoft 365 services, including Teams and Outlook; SharePoint; the 25 Live room reservation system; and the SOLE system at Health Sciences.
College and department IT directors should be prepared to validate applications they manage after this maintenance is finished.
