-====== Web Based Password Change at IBG ======
+====== Roundcube web based password change at IBG ======
-Web based password changing will **only work from on-campus computers**.
-From off campus the [[http://www.colorado.edu/its/vpn/index.html|CU
+This uses the Roundcube web email client to change your IBG password. It should work from any computer which can access secure web pages.
-VPN]] must be installed and running before online password changing
-will work.
 ===== Where to Go =====
-The URL for password changes is [[https://ibg.colorado.edu:901]]
-It is probably easiest to right-click on the above link and select ''Open link in new window'' (or whatever is appropriate in your browser) so that these instructions can be seen at the same time as the password change window.
+The URL to connect to Roundcube is [[https://ibg.colorado.edu/roundcube]]
+The quick instructions: Follow the above link and login. Then go to "Settings" and then "Password". Enter your old (current) password, and your desired new password, and press "Save".
 ===== Initial Login =====
+Go to [[https://ibg.colorado.edu/roundcube]] and login with your username and password.
-Before anything is shown on the web page a login window will be presented:
+{{ :computing:login.png?nolink&200 |}}
-{{ IE7-login.png?nolink |Internet Explorer 7 login window}}
-Enter your ''username'' and existing ''password'' into the appropriate boxes.  If you have multiple IBG passwords, this is the same username and password that you use to access IBG e-mail, such as [[https://ibg.colorado.edu/squirrelmail|Squirrelmail]].
-===== SWAT Page =====
-The browser will no show the SWAT page:
+===== Settings =====
-{{ swat.png?nolink |SWAT}}
+Click on the "Settings" link in the upper right corner.
-Click on the {{passwd.gif?nolink|Password}} button.
+{{ :computing:settings.png?nolink&200 |}}
-===== Password Change Page =====
+===== Password =====
-Two password dialogs are selected.  Only the ''Server Password
+Click on "Password" in the right most column.
-Management'' section is important, ''Client/Server Password
-Management'' should be ignored.
-{{ server_password_management.png?nolink |Server Password Management}}
+{{ :computing:password.png?nolink&200 |}}
-The appropriate ''username'' should already be entered into the ''User Name
+===== Changing your password =====
-:'' field.
-Enter your current ''password'' into the ''Old Password
+Enter your current password in the "Current" field, and enter your desired new password in the "New Password" and confirmation fields. Then click "Save". If it works, a message at the bottom of your browser window will say "<fc #00FF00>Successfully Saved</fc>". If it does not work, there will be a dialog box with an error message. The error message may be "Passwords do not match", in which case the two new passwords entered are not identical. An error saying "<fc #FF0000>Current Password Incorrect</fc>" means that the password entered in the "Current Password" field is not correct.
-:'' field.  This **may** be different from the ''password'' just used
-to access the this page.  This password is the same as the one used to
-login to the IBG Windows domain (the one used when logging into
-Windows with ''ctrl-alt-delete'').  It is probably the same as the
-password recently used, but it may not be.
-Choose a new password:

-      * Do not use the characters '': # ' [ ]''
-      * Do not use any dictionary word //no matter how obscure//
-   * Do not share your password with **anybody**

-      * Sharing of passwords is a direct violation of Section C.1.a of
-CU's [[http://www.colorado.edu/policies/cnr/index.html|Computing and
-Network Resources]] document.
