In order to better secure University staff Raven accounts'UIS Accounts' (formerly called Raven), UIS has enabled Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) to all Raven UIS accounts. This means that when you go to use your Raven account for certain Microsoft applications you will need to confirm your log in using another device. Typically this is done by using the Microsoft Authenticator app on a mobile phone (note that there are other options if this doesn't work for you).
As a Medschl , or SLCU or Zoology user you would be required to use MFA for both Teams and Exchange Online in the following instances:
- Initial log in to Teams and Exchange Online once you've set up MFA
- For each application after you change your password
- If you log in to a new device to use Teams or Exchange Online
- Add your Exchange Online email account to a new device
- Accessing a new SharePoint resource for the first time
This will NOT apply to your Medschl email as it is a separate system to Exchange Online.
Information
Below are links to the UIS information created to date to help you with this process. Please see the Support section below if you need help.
Enabling MFA
Users are being contacted alphabetically by CRSID. You will be contacted by email inviting you to set it up. We strongly recommend you set it up BEFORE the date MFA is turned on for your account. If you wait until the date, you may be left without any access whilst it is set up. You can ask for it to be activated earlier or postpone it for a month using the MFA options form: http://www.uis.cam.ac.uk/mfa-options
