Remote Access Logon Changes

UBITName & Password

POSTED: July 3, 2006

Connecting to the UB Libraries' subscription-based resources through a third-party ISP has changed. When prompted, you will no longer need to enter your 29072 library number to authenticate yourself. Instead, simply use your UBITName and password.

Your UBITName is your University at Buffalo Information Technology userName. You can find your UBITName online or on a UBITName Lookup station at CIT Public computing sites. If you have your correct UBITName but are having trouble logging in, you may need to synchronize your UBIT password with your Active Directory password. This can be done by going to:

https://ldap.buffalo.edu/cgi-bin/chpass.pl

Enter your UBIT name and then type in your current password in the next 3 boxes.

Old password:
New password:
Retype new password.

Then click the Change Password button. This will allow UBIT users access to all authenticated resources managed by our proxy server. For further technical assistance on your UBITName, please contact:
