Answers

All faculty and staff have the ability to troubleshoot Banner Admin page errors.

This article provides instructions to troubleshoot the following error messages:     

1. *ERROR* You are not authorized to log on at this time based on Banner security rules.
2. We're having trouble finding that site.
3. This site can't be reached.
4. Authentication Failed.
5. teal.uncw.edu (Banner URL) wants to connect to any device on your local network - [Allow] or [Block]

If you receive the following message, "*ERROR* You are not authorized to log on at this time based on Banner security rules", please note:

This message indicates that the account is no longer active; this can occur for two reasons:

• Your Banner account was inactivated because it has not been used within the past 180 days.

• Your Banner account's expiration date has passed.

To resolve this issue, request that an expiration extension be approved by your Supervisor via a service request.

If you are using a Windows computer, you may encounter the following error messages when loading Banner Admin Pages:

• We're having trouble finding that site.

• This site can't be reached.

If you are off campus, make sure you have connected to the Virtual Private Network (VPN) first.

If you are on campus, your computer's network configuration may need to be updated. Install the USERTrust RSA application shown below using the Software Center:

If you're not able to log in after installing this application, attempt to log into Banner Admin using Horizon and notify TAC of the results.

An "Authentication Failed - User denied local network access permission" error is caused by selecting [Block] if you are prompted to allow the site to "Look for and connect to any device on your local area network."  It is safe to [Allow] this permission for Banner sites. See details here

Authentication Failed

User denied local network access permission

 

 An "Authentication Failed - Problem in external authentication service" error is usually caused by browser issues and/or an out-of-sync condition with the UNCW and Banner Admin accounts. See steps below to adjust the settings for specific browsers. You may also need to log out of your UNCW account and back in to sync that account with Banner.

You may receive a prompt from the browser requesting permission to look for and connect to any device on your local network. It is safe to [Allow] this for Banner sites. If you select [Block] for this prompt and receive an authentication error, remove that setting by clearing the browser's cache as noted in the Authentication Failed steps above. For other sites, allow this only if the site is known to be safe. Verify with TAC if unsure.
