In the event of weather-related issues requiring UNC System Office remote access, IT wanted to share the following information:
Generally speaking, the login experience for all applications from the web has unified into a single workflow regardless of which application is being accessed. That includes the following:
- Office365 Applications
- Microsoft Outlook Online (Webmail) (https://mymail.northcarolina.edu)
- Microsoft Office Online (Word, Excel, Sharepoint, Powerpoint) (https://portal.northcarolina.edu) Be advised, we have not officially deployed these applications yet and there is no visibility from them into our local shares (H,P,M drive, etc)
- Microsoft Teams (https://teams.northcarolina.edu)
- Sharefile (https://uncsystem.sharefile.com)
- VMware View (https://view.northcarolina.edu)
- For existing daily users, they can continue to use the application.
- For new “Emergency” Users, they can go to that URL, click “VMware Horizon HTML Access”.
- This will take them to a login prompt where they can enter their UserName and Password. Be advised that it says “Passcode” and means “Password”.
- They will then be prompted for the DUO 2FA. They can then select their preferred method. This is identical to the 2FA workflow for webmail and Sharefile.
- MyApps for other applications and services (https://myapps.northcarolina.edu/)
In all cases, you will be presented with a normal Username/Password screen, and then a follow-up Duo Prompt screen. The user will be prompted for login and Duo authentication if their session ends for any of these applications.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to the Help Desk.
