Step 2: Passwords (New!)

UMW's New "Active Directory" Passwords

EFFECTIVE: NOVEMBER 22, 2009

Our University is migrating to a new authentication (login) mechanism called "Active Directory". As of November 22, your Active Directory password will be used for all systems at UMW.

I AM A...

• Student
• Faculty or Staff member who did NOT change my temporary password during the summer's migration to Active Directory and Outlook

 

Students

As of November 22, students will need to use their new Active Directory password for EagleNet, Blackboard and the EagleOne card system. That means initially using a temporary password, constructed for each student as follows:

Last 4 digits of your Social Security Number*

+

2 digit designation of your birth month (e.g., April = 04)

* Note: If you have no Social Security number in our systems
use the Last 4 digits of your Banner ID + 99.
Your banner ID is printed on your eagleone card (it's also found next to your name in Banner).

Your temporary password is based on personal information, so you will want to change it wherever it is used. See below for password changes.

STUDENT PASSWORD CHANGES

1. Login to the new EagleNet portal at http://eaglenet.umw.edu using your UMW Net ID and temporary password (above).
2. You can change your Active Directory password in EagleNet. To Do So:
   • Click on the "University Resources" tab, and select "Technology Support".

You are now done!
