Changing Your AD Password

- Onsite: To update AD password while onsite/connected to the UCSD network
- Remote/Off-Network: To update AD password while remote/off network (Working from Home, a non-university network such as public Wifi)
Updating AD password using personal devices or a UCSD Health Managed Mac

Tips and Tricks

The new password requirements will be checked against known compromised passwords in addition to the new password length and complexity minimum standards.
If possible, we recommend changing your password while onsite using the UC San Diego Health network because changing your password remotely may not occur immediately due to inherent delays with remote computing.
We also recommend restarting your computer prior to resetting your password.
Before you follow steps to change your password, be sure you create a password that is: Different from any previous passwords; At least 12 characters long; Includes characters from at least 3 of the following 4 categories (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols); Not a single, recognizable word or your username. Using a passphrase is a more secure option.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How to prevent your account from getting locked out after changing your password?

If you have used multiple Windows standard workstations, logout of all of them to prevent getting locked out.

It is also a good idea to clear your network preferences on any devices that may be connected to ucsd-protected/ebranly. Ensure you update your password on all of these devices after you change your password.

Why Am I getting DUO password prompts on my Office Applications, Teams, etc?

Post password reset you will be prompted to reauthenticate on various Office applications. If you are outside of a UC San Diego Health network (Working from Home, a non-university network such as public Wifi) or disconnected from the VPN, you will also be prompted to validate your identity with Duo two-step verification.

Active Directory (password is the same for both orgs)

Active Directory (AD) is Microsoft's directory and identity management service for Windows domain networks used for user authentication and authorization. Most logins only require you to use your username and password (such as when logging in to your UCSD managed work computer).

When you need to use a specific service offered exclusively by Campus or Health/Sciences, then you must specify your choice by using either [email protected]">[email protected] (Campus Service) or [email protected]">[email protected] (Health/Sciences Service). For example, I can choose whether I want to login to the Campus or Health/Sciences MS Teams tenant, (notice the full username login):

Again, on the Adobe Cloud online portal, I must specify that I want to use my Health/Sciences account by using my full email address to use that tenant:

After successfully logging in, clicking on the blue pie reveals that I am logged in to the Health/Sciences tenant:

Business Systems

Single Sign-On

Single Sign-on is an authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single ID and password to many of several related, yet independent, software systems. True SSO would allow access to all user privileged tools in an organization. UCSD leverages the SSO portal as an entry gateway to SSO configured applications as well as launching 2Factor authentication if you are working remotely and not using a UCSD managed VPN.
