Change Your Password Regularly

Although your IdentiKey password does not expire, it's recommended that you change it manually every 60-90 days, or at least once per semester.

• Go to CU Connect and in the "Login" box click the link for "IdentiKey/Login Help"
• Follow the link to "Reset" your password. Check that your new password works by going back and logging into CUConnect.
• You must then synchronize your new IdentiKey password at the following web site: https://adsync.colorado.edu When you see "Kerberos initialized successfully" then your password change is complete.
• Close your browser and restart your computer. Use your new IdentiKey password to log in.

If you have problems with your IdentiKey password, you must contact the central campus ITS Help Desk at 5-HELP (5-4357). The HDS IT Support Staff cannot assist you with IdentiKey password problems.

Accessing Email Remotely

Housing and Dining Services employees can access their email away from their office via the Internet using Outlook Web Access (click this link and a new browser window or tab will open).

To log on, enter your IdentiKey user name preceeded with "AD\" and your IdentiKey password. (Be sure to use "backslash" after the AD).

Antivirus Software

If you don't have an antivirus program already installed on your home computer, we STRONGLY recommend that you download eTrust Antivirus free from CU. All university staff, students and faculty are eligible to use this free software.

Remote Access / Terminal Server

Remote access to HDS servers, files and applications (that is, access away from your regular desk workstation) is restriced to authorized users only at this time. Please contact your area supervisor or the HDS IT Support Desk if you feel you need access to HDS IT resources from off campus.
