Starting February 17, 2025, you will notice a different sign-in screen when you first log on to UB phone (VoIP) services. Here’s what you need to know. 

New sign-in screen for VoIP services requires full email address  

When you first sign-in on February 17, 2025, to VoIP services, including UB VoIP Cisco Communications Manager self-care portal, checking voicemail from a web browser using Cisco Unity Connection Web Inbox, and setting your location for 911 services with Cisco Jabber, you will be taken to a different log in screen that looks like the image below:

Enter your full UBmail address (ex: jdoe@buffalo.edu) and password to sign-in to these VoIP services.  Make sure you enter your full UB email address, not just your UBITName.  

You may also be asked to verify your identity with Duo two-step verification.  

UBIT is changing this single sign-on (SSO) process to provide a consistent login experience for students, faculty, and staff.
