The first phase is to migrate all campus staff & faculty to modern authentication all mail client software depending on our campus Exchange infrastructure.
This implementation will be done in two phases. It also impacts collaboration software like Microsoft Skype for Business, Microsoft Teams, and cloud service Microsoft Office 365. This impacts Exchange and corresponding mail & calendaring software like Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail, Apple Calendar, and lesser-used applications like Bus圜al, Spark, etc. This enables sign-in features such as Multi-Factor Authentication(MFA), smart card, and certificate-based authentication. Modern authentication is an umbrella term for a combination of authentication and authorization methods between a client (for example, your laptop or your phone) and a server, as well as some security measures that rely on access policies. Recently, our institution implemented Microsoft Modern Authentication to enable security controls that the university can implement to reduce the risk of compromised credentials with two-factor authentication for any service that contains sensitive, restricted data or otherwise. Modern Authentication enables Active Directory Authentication Library (ADAL) based sign-in for Exchange and client applications across different platforms.
