Login changes to UIS Mainframe/GALAXY effective Sunday October 1
As a reminder, Boston University will be making changes to the way you log in to UIS Mainframe/GALAXY. Beginning the morning of Sunday, October 1 you will no longer need your SecurID token (the little fob with a number that changes frequently) to log in to UIS using a terminal screen, often called Host On-Demand (HOD), 3270, or Reflections. You will first need connect to the two-factor VPN which will require Duo (you probably already use Duo for BUworks). After connecting to the two-factor VPN, you can connect to the UIS Mainframe/GALAXY and will only be prompted to enter in your user ID and password.
IS&T has prepared a Frequently Asked Questions page to address some of the more commonly asked questions.
Although you will no longer need your SecurID token, please hold onto them for now, as they will be collected in the near future.
If you have any questions about this change, or require assistance, please email ithelp@bu.edu.
