Requirements
The user of this article must have active O-Key (or University) account in order to successfully accomplish the following procedures.
Step-by-Step Procedures
The following instructions will detail how to activate an “Application” Service Account. These actions can be performed by either the Primary or Secondary Owner(s). The single activation section will provide the owner with the opportunity to set the Service Account password.
- As an assigned Owner of the Service Account, you will access your personal O-Key profile via www.okey.okstate.edu. If asked, please confirm your emergency contact information.
- From within your O-key profile, click on “Service Accounts” on the left pane.
- Choose the appropriate Service Account listed by clicking on the “Activate” link in the Activate/Modify column.
- From the resulting “Password” form, enter the chosen password information for this Service Account.
- The password has certain validation rules that need to be followed:
- "Enter a password that is fifteen characters long, contains at least one special character, at least one capital letter, at least one lower case letter, at least one number, and does not contain dictionary words. The generated passwords will not be shown."
- If ANY of those rules are violated, relevant error message will be displayed, such as: "Your password is less than 15 characters long. Please enter new password".
- The next page is the Application Account Profile. This indicates that you have successfully completed the wizard. The Profile will list all information pertaining to that Service Account. If necessary, share the information with all owners of the account.
Please note that a Secondary Owner is required for all Service Accounts. Please refer to "Service Accounts - FAQ" article on how to add Secondary Owner.
Verification
By following those steps correctly, Application Service Account will become active and ready to be utilized.
If you go to your O-Key profile and click "Service Account menu," you should be able to see that your service account is active.
