Passphrases
You can change your passphrase on almost all UITS shared central systems using the Passphrase Maintenance utility. To use this utility, follow the first link below (you will need to know your Network ID passphrase). Passphrases on Indiana University central systems must adhere to a set of guidelines. You can find information about this on the Passphrase Maintenance utility page itself.
Be aware that the procedures are different for changing your passphrase on the university web server for IUB, IUN, and IUSB. See the appropriate links below:
