New Student Login System for UAConnect, Blackboard and Other Services
During Spring Break, UARK Gmail, Blackboard and other services began using a new, secure login system called Azure. Popular services such as Office 365, Box and Kaltura were already using Azure to process logins.
Aside from the visual difference in the login screens, users will be required to log in using their full UARK email address instead of just the username.
Students will be required to log in with UARK username@uark.edu. Logging in with UARK username@email.uark.edu will result in a login error.
The following services now use Azure:
- UARK Gmail
- Lynda.com Online Learning
- Blackboard Learn
- Adobe Creative Cloud
- UAConnect
This change was planned as the first phase to migrate authentication services from the legacy Shibboleth environment to the more secure and reliable Microsoft Azure AD system.
