BOX AND KRONOS LOGOUT METHOD CHANGED ON DEC. 20 AT 5:30 P.M.[bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″]
[/bs_col][bs_col class=”col-sm-8″]A recent upgrade to the university’s authentication provider has necessitated a change to the way users will be logged out of Box and Kronos. When users log out from within the Box or Kronos applications, they will also be logged out of all other CAS-enabled University applications at that time, unless the user is actively using another application in a separate tab. So long as that tab remains open, the user will stay logged in to that particular application. To access subsequent U apps after logging out of Box or Kronos (e.g. CIS), users will simply need to log back in.
Additionally, the current logout screen for Box will be replaced with the common university logout screen.[/bs_col][/bs_row]
