On Oct. 30, all Purdue faculty, staff and students must use BoilerKey to log in to applications behind the CAS portal. What does that mean for you? Nothing will change about how you use BoilerKey, but you will begin to use BoilerKey on new websites. Some of those websites include: Blackboard, myPurdue, Concur, Kronos, Benefitfocus and more. Essentially, if you ever encounter a sign-in box like this, you must use BoilerKey to log in after Oct. 30. [http://mailimages.purdue.edu/purdue-mrm_vpit/7e7048fb3c1640d9ab02175462a81df...] What do I have to do? Nothing! This email is simply a notice to let you know that the change is coming. We will send a reminder closer to Oct. 30. If you experience issues with your BoilerKey that you cannot solve, help is available.
