How to login through CAS

Security Question: Some things to know

  • The first time that you login to the CAS Single Sign-on page, you will be prompted to enter in a security question and answer.  The security question may only be created once.
  • This question and answer will be used later if you ever forget your password and need to reset your password. 
  • The best question and answer combinations are simple, memorable, can't be guessed easily, and don't change over time.
  • The security answer is case and space insensitive.  Example: You set your security answer to "NY Giants" initially.  Sometime later, you forgot your password and you need to remember the answer to your security question.  If you type in "nygiants" or "NY GIANTS", both will work fine.

Examples of good security questions are:

  • Favorite teacher's last name
  • Best childhood friend
  • Favorite pet
  • Favorite boss

Please type in a security question and answer, and then click Submit.
