Troubleshooting: Problems logging in

If you change your Windows password or mail servers, the RISS Outlook Interface prompts you to log in when you try to search your repository. Providing your current (new) password and mail server updates your account information (password and mail server). The following provides background information to help you understand why this new login information is needed.

To use the RISS Outlook Interface you must be logged in to both:

A Microsoft Exchange mail server

RISS

After you initialize your Outlook account, these login operations are performed automatically. You are not prompted for your user name, password, and mail server.

When you open Outlook, you are automatically logged in to Exchange.

When you submit a search query, you are automatically logged in to the system.

Your Windows password is used for logging in to Exchange. When you initialize your Outlook account, your Windows password becomes your RISS password as well.

To resynchronize your RISS login information with your new Exchange login information, the RISS Outlook Interface prompts you to provide the new information.

An OWA installation may have a simple or a very complex network architecture. When logging in to an Exchange account through OWA, the account information must be passed through the various levels from the user to the Exchange server. For a simple network architecture, the login appears once similar to that of Outlook, but for a complex network, there may be multiple prompts for login information within the same session.
