All users have OUHSC domain accounts and therefore have access to the College servers. The system administrator has established user access to specific directories on the College servers. Under certain circumstances, access to some HSC systems will require two-factor authentication.
Two-Factor Authentication
Passwords are increasingly easy to compromise. They can often be stolen, guessed, or hacked — you might not even know someone is accessing your account. Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security, keeping your account secure even if your password is compromised.
What HSC applications require two-factor authentication?
-
Employee self-service access from off-campus
-
Student self-service access from off-campus
-
VPN (connect2.ouhsc.edu) – “Global Protect” application.
-
Direct deposit from either off-campus or on campus
How does two-factor authentication work?
Once you have enrolled in OUHSC’s two-factor authentication system, you will login to protected applications as usual with your HSC User ID and password. If you are off-campus (or on campus for some services), you may be prompted to send a request for authentication to the smartphone or tablet you registered at duo.ouhsc.edu. Approve the login from the smartphone or tablet, and the webpage on your computer will automatically refresh to the location you are attempting to reach.
What is considered off-campus?
Off-campus would include your home internet connection, public internet locations, connectivity via the HSC connect.ouhsc.edu VPN service, or even cellular data connectivity regardless of physical location. Only dedicated HSC wired and wireless networks are considered to be on-campus for two-factor authentication.
OUHSC Domain Accounts
Currently, computer accounts are triggered to automatically set up for employees when a new hire ePAF (employee Paperwork Action Form) is created by the hiring department; however, should there be a problem with that process, any user who does not have an OUHSC domain account should have one created by completing a New User Account Request form. This form can be printed from the IT help desk web site. Fill out the form and deliver it to the appropriate sponsor. The designated account sponsor, will sign and fax as directed to IT. A new OUHSC domain user account will be created and the username with a pre-expired password will be forwarded to the account sponsor in 24-72 hours.
