Update: Problem affecting some Windows 10 and 11 devices on campus
ICTS has made adjustments to the authentication process to address the Network Access Control issue of repeated sign-in prompts for certain Windows 10 and 11 devices on campus. Once the pop-up prompt appears, affected customers will now have 30 seconds to enter their username and password.
What to do
If your wired Windows 10 or 11 device receives repeated sign-in prompts on campus, please follow these steps:
- Restart your device.
- When the sign-in prompt re-occurs, enter your username and password within 30 seconds.
- Once you have successfully authenticated, you should no longer receive sign-in prompts.
If the issue persists after this, please contact the NAC support line on 021 650 8050, or contact the IT Helpdesk for further assistance.
