Microsoft OneDrive:
OneDrive is a cloud-based file system. All members of the Howard University community have access to OneDrive through Microsoft Outlook. This is a secure, online location for all your University documents/files. Similar to “Dropbox,” Google drive, etc., your OneDrive account can be accessed from any web browser. We recommend moving all files located on your desktop or laptop to your OneDrive prior to leaving campus. This way, you will be able to access files remotely.

Single Password with Automatic Push
If AnyConnect only prompts for a password, like so:
After you submit your login information, an authentication request is automatically sent to you via push to the Duo Mobile app or as a phone call.
Alternatively, you can add a comma (“,”) to the end of your password, followed by a Duo passcode or the name of a Duo factor. Here's how:
Type... | To... |
---|---|
password,passcode | Log in using a passcode, either generated with Duo Mobile, sent via SMS, generated by your hardware token, or provided by an administrator. Examples: 'mypass123,123456' or 'mypass123,1456789' |
password,push | Push a login request to your phone (if you have Duo Mobile installed and activated on your iOS, Android, or Windows Phone device). Just review the request and tap 'Approve' to log in. |
password,phone | Authenticate via phone callback. |
password,sms | Get a new batch of SMS passcodes. Your login attempt will fail — log in again with one of your new passcodes. |
You can also add a number to the end of these factor names if you have more than one device registered. For example, push2 will send a login request to your second phone, phone3 will call your third phone, etc.
