Authentication and Notices

1. Type your name in the "Name" field, type in your email address and include "services" in the address (i.e., [USER]@services.fnal.gov), and then click "Sign in".
   
   
   
2. For this step, there are two paths that may be presented to you:
   • Yubikey - If you have a Yubikey and it is plugged into your computer, you will be presented with a prompt to select your Yubikey certificate. Select the "FERMI Sub CA" certificate and click "OK". You then be presented with the Smart Card window where you enter your Yubikey PIN and click "OK". NOTE: If you do not want to use your Yubikey, click "Cancel" and you will be guided through the RSA process below.
     
     
     
   • RSA - If you do not want to use your Yubikey or do not have a Yubikey, you will be prompted to provide an RSA passcode as part of the "Two-Factor Authentication" requirement. Enter your passcode and click "OK". If you are unsure how to generate your passcode, please review "How to use RSA hardware token to generate a passcode" or "How to install and use RSA soft token to generate a passcode".
     
     
     
3. When the authentication is completed, Outlook has successfully added your email account. Click "Done".
   
   
   
4. You may be presented with a "Microsoft respects your" screen. If you do, click "OK".
   
   
   
5. You may be presented with a "Getting better together" screen. If you do, select "No, don’t send optional data" and then click "Accept".
   
   
   
6. You may be presented with a "Powering your experiences" screen. If you do, click "OK".
