This upgrade will drastically cut down on the number of times you will be prompted to login. Additionally, it will further support significant security enhancements such as Multi Factor Authentication.

There is no downtime expected with this upgrade. The login screen will look slightly different and you will need to login with your full email address rather than the first.last name.

Why is this happening?

This upgrade is being done to keep our Single Sign On software solutions up to date and secure.
