The university is licensed to install Carbon Black Antivirus on all Loyola-owned computers. Information Technology installs this for you upon the initial setup of your computer. You can verify it is running on your computer by checking if the Carbon Black icon in your system tray in the lower right corner of your windows computer or on the upper right side of the menu bar of your Apple computer.

The Carbon Black license does not cover personal or student computers. Please secure your computer by installing an antivirus program before bringing it to campus. The following programs have free versions for consumers.

Avast

This program will cover Apple, android, and IOs devices.
https://www.avast.com/en-us/free-antivirus-download#pc

Sophos

This program can be installed on Windows or Apple/Mac computers. The home version is free to consumers only. This program can be installed on Windows or Apple/Mac computers. The home version is free to consumers only.
https://home.sophos.com/en-us/download-antivirus-pc.aspx

AVG

AVG will cover Windows or Apple/Mac computers. It is free but can be upgraded to a paid version.
https://www.avg.com/en-us/free-antivirus-download-t2#pc

The red "X" icon means that the Carbon Black antivirus program is offline.  This is mainly caused by an update that needs to be "allowed" in order for the newer version to be installed.  Unfortunately, the program will get stuck in the offline mode while it waits for the user to allow the upgrade.   This needs to be resolved as soon as possible in order to assure protection of your device.

1. Open System Preferences.  Go to Security and Privacy.  Select the General tab.

3. You will need to unlock the System Preferences window to make changes.

4. At the bottom of the General tab, you may see a statement asking you to allow VMware CBCloud.  Click "Allow".  If more that one program is waiting to be approved, you may see a "Details" button.  Click "Details" then allow Carbon Black. 

5. If the red "X" does not disappear, then restart your computer.  If the red "X" still exist after restart, then within System Preferences, go to Security and Privacy.  Under the Privacy tab, on the left side, select "Full Disk Access".  

6. Leaving the System Prefernces Window open, open finder.  Go to applications.  Scroll down to VMware Carbon Black and open the folder.

7. Select the following files from the Vmware Carbon Black Cloud folder and drag them to the list on the right in the System Preference window.  It is ok if they do not appear in the list afterwards.  Just drag and drop. Again you may not see these items on the target list after you drop them.  That is normal.

LiveQuery bundle

repmgr bundle

unistall bundle

VMware CBCloud (with blue icon)

8. Restart the Mac.  If there is still a red "x" on the CB icon, please email support@loyno.edu.

REMEMBER:  Restart your Mac at least once a week!

If the Carbon Black icon at the top right corner of your Mac screen has a red "X" on top of it, it is possible that the CB extension failed to load.  To fix this, do the following.

1. Open System Preferences

2. Navigate to Privacy and Security

3. On the right side of the window, see if there is a message stating that vmware Carbon Block has been blocked.  If this is the case, please allow it by clicking "Allow".

4. Then  within the Privacy and Security preferences scroll to see Full Disk Access. Click on it.

5. Look for the com.vmware carbon black cloud extension and turn it on.

If this does not resolve the issue, email support@loyno.edu.

Google 2-Step Verification is a way to increase the security of your email account.  All faculty, staff and students need to login into their email account through the Chrome browser in order to enroll.  Enrolling in 2-step verification through Outlook or Mac Mail is not possible.  All Outlook or Mac Mail users need to access their email accounts via the Chrome browser and go to gmail.com.

It is required that everyone enroll by turning on the verification process themselves.  By signing into your Gmail account via the Chrome browser, you will be prompted to setup your 2-step verification, if you have not already enrolled.  You will be given the option to enroll or to defer the process until later. If you choose to "Do This Later", you will be prompted to enroll again at another time.  However, if you wait until after the designated deadline, you will be locked out of your account.  You will then need to call the Help Desk at X2255 and leave a message to open a ticket.  As this will take time to resolve, we recommend that you enroll your account right away.  The deadline will be announced in an email.

Note:  If you are not prompted to enroll and wish to verify that your account is already enrolled in 2-step verification, then click here.
           To learn how to see your devices that are currently logged in to Google, click here.

Accessing LORA Self-Service

LORA (Loyola Online Records Access) is being replaced with a newer system called LORA Self-Service.  Like LORA you will use LORA Self-Service to register for classes, check your grades, access your financial aid, view and pay bills and audit classes.

Getting Started

1. Access the Loyola Self-Service login through Loyola’s SSO Application Portal by going to sso.loyno.edu and login.  Your username for the SSO is everything before the @ symbol of your Loyola email address. The new student, faculty and staff default password is the first letter of your first name, the first letter of your last name, your birthdate and then an uppercase LU.  (flmmddyyyyLU)  Returning students, faculty and staff default is the first two letters of your first name, the last 4 digits of your social security number, followed by an uppercase LU (abXXXXLU)  Note:  Any change to your Microsoft password will automatically change your SSO password as well. If you have reset your Microsoft password after 6/1/2022, the SSO password automatically changed as well.

2. Select the “SSO Apps” tab.

3. Click on the icon labeled “LORA Self-Service”.  

4. LORA Self-Service uses your current Loyola Microsoft credentials.  These are the same credentials that you use to print in the library, access Loyno Secure Wifi, access Medicat Health Portal and your Microsoft account.  If you change your Loyola Microsoft password, it will change on all of these systems, including LORA Self-Service.

Your Loyola Microsoft username is your entire email address.  The default password is the first letter of your first name, the first letter of your last name, your birthdate and then an uppercase LU.  (flmmddyyyyLU)  For more information, go to https://it.loyno.edu/your-loyola-microsoft-account

5. If assistance is needed to access LORA Self-Service, use your Loyola email account and send a service request to support@loyno.edu or leave a message at 504-865-2255.

LORA Self Service uses your Loyola Microsoft account credentials.  These are the same credentials you use to get into Microsoft Office 365 (free for students), Loyno Secure wifi, Medicat, Papercut (printing on campus) and vlab.loyno.edu (student application portal).  If you currently access these resources, use the same credentials to get into the LORA Self Service.

If you have never accessed these resources or used your Loyola Microsoft account, we highly recommend that you log into Microsoft first by going to office.com (note the credential format below).

Username:  Your full Loyola email address (xxxxxxxx@my.loyno.edu)

Password: 

a. If you have used your Loyola Microsoft Credentials to use any of the resources mentioned above, use the same credentials to access LORA Self Service.  If you forgot your password, go to office.com and select "forgot password" to reset it.  

b. New Students - the default password is the first letter of your first name, the first letter of your last name, your birthday and then an uppercase LU.  (abmmddyyyyLU)  You will be forced to change your password when first logging into office.com.  Do this before going to Lora Self Service.

c:  Returning Students who have not used their Loyola Microsoft password before, will use the old default password - the first two letters of your first name, the last four digits of your social security number, then LU (abXXXXLU). Go to office.com first to make sure you can login, before going to LORA Self Service.

Remember: When you change your Microsoft password at office.com, it will automatically change for the LORA Self Service and all of the resources mentioned above too.

To reset your LORA Self Service password, 

Go to office.com.  Your Loyola Microsoft account credentials control the access to LORA Self Service.

When signing in, click on "Forgot Password".

Follow the online prompts that Microsoft provides.

If you set up account recovery at office.com, you will be stepped though changing your password. 

The password requirements are:

2. It must contain at least one upper case and one lower case letter.

3. It must contain at least one number.

4. It cannot contain part of your name or email address.
