SDU IT blocks older login method on Windows computers
To strengthen IT security, SDU IT will continue on 18 November 2026 to block an older login method, NTLM, on Windows computers used for administrative tasks at the faculties.
This strengthens IT security, but it may mean that some computers can no longer access older equipment or systems.
Most staff will not notice any changes. A few SDU services are temporarily exempt while SDU IT moves them to a more secure login method.
This is what the change means for you
If you use an SDU computer to access older equipment or systems, the connection may stop working. This could, for example, be an older NAS or file server at home.
If an SDU service no longer works after the change, contact the Service Desk. SDU IT will then investigate the issue and help find a solution.
