What is IU's Passphrase Maintenance utility?

Indiana University's Passphrase Maintenance utility is a web site from which you can change your passphrases simultaneously on most UITS shared central systems. For more information about which passphrases it can change, see Using IU's Passphrase Maintenance utility, which shared central computer account passphrases can I change or reset?

You must have a Network ID to use the Passphrase Maintenance utility. For information about the IU Network ID, see What is an IU Network ID? If your network passphrase does not work, see At IU, if I forget my passphrase on a UITS shared central system, what should I do?

Note: Be aware that when you change your Network ID passphrase, you may have to wait up to 20 minutes for all systems to recognize the new passphrase. In other words, you may have a short wait before you can do such things as log into IU Webmail, dial into IU's modems, create new computing accounts, reset your passphrase again, or check your grades.

The Passphrase Maintenance utility sets the same passphrase on all of the systems that it affects. You can use it to set a completely new passphrase or to resynchronize your passphrase so that it is the same on all systems. To use it, go to the Passphrase Maintenance web page at:
