myRedlands PORTAL (continued)myRedlands logo

When accessing my.redlands.edu, there are a few things to be aware of:

Logging in:
If you use a Windows computer and are logged onto the campus network, your
user name and password will be passed to the portal automatically.  When you
go to my.redlands.edu, you will not need to sign in again.

If you use an Apple computer, you will be asked to enter your user name and
password (for user name, enter your Redlands e-mail address).
If you are accessing the portal from off campus, it will prompt you for your user name and password (for user name, enter your Redlands e-mail address).

If you are accessing the new portal from a Windows computer in our computer labs, after you log in, then you do not need to enter your user name and password again.
If you use an Apple computer in the computer lab, then you will be asked to enter your user name and password (for user name, enter your Redlands e-mail
address).

In earlier correspondence, students were directed to log onto myRedlands
using student\firstname_lastname (faculty and staff were instructed
to use admnt\firstname_lastname).

To simplify the process, your Redlands e-mail address can also be used.

E-mail access:
The first time that you access the new portal, you will notice (towards the top of the page), it will say “SSO credentials for user ... could not be found in application Exchange E-mail”.  Click on the link that says “Enter your credentials.”  Enter in your Redlands e-mail address and password, and be sure to check the box that says “Sign in Automatically.”  Once you have enter your credentials this first time, the system will store this information allowing you easy to access your Outlook Web Mail from the new portal.

For assistance with accessing the myRedlands portal, students should contact ResNet at extension 8921.  For staff and faculty assistance, contact User Services/Help Desk at extension 8922 or the Fletcher Jones Foundation Computer
Center at extension 8965.

SECURITY MEASURES—myRedlands PORTAL
With the introduction of the new my.redlands.edu portal, we have implemented a single sign-on solution.  Once you have logged onto the portal, you are able to access additional resources without the need to login to each system separately.

The single sign-on environment brings the need for added security measures on the part of the individual user.  It is important, especially when using a computer in a lab or in a technology enabled classroom, that you log off of any Windows computers by clicking the Start button and selecting Log Off from the Shut Down menu.  On Apple
computers, you will need to make sure you quit your browser software by pressing the Apple Key and ‘Q’ at the same time.



Off-Campus Access

 

E-mail can be accessed from off-campus by logging onto the myRedlands portal (my.redlands.edu).  The link to Outlook Web Mail appears above the image in the middle of the screen (look for number of unread mail messages).  Outlook Web Mail can also be accessed directly at http://mail.redlands.edu.

Voicemail can be accessed from off-campus by calling (909) 748-8900.  Press the [#] key, enter your mailbox number (your on-campus extension), your password and the [#] key.
