About this guide This guide is intended for Derbyshire County Council employees, partners and suppliers who need access to the Council s Outlook Web Access (OWA) service. This would be primarily from locations not directly on Council property, such as from schools, from partner and supplier establishments, or colleagues home locations. The Outlook Web Access (OWA) service is secured to Public Services Network standards, and requires additional levels of security above that more usually based on a username and password. This is to better protect confidential and sensitive information which you may have access to on behalf of clients, residents or Derbyshire County Council. To log on to OWA you will need a four-digit PIN number which only you know and a randomly generated number, called a one-time password, which will be specific to you at the time you log on. These additional levels of security are NOT required if you are using a Derbyshire County Council machine on council premises. This guide is for users who wish to use a mobile phone to receive the one-time password in an SMS text message. 2
Before accessing Outlook Web Access (OWA) You will need the following before you can access the Outlook Web Access service: A Derbyshire County Council login account the username and password you currently use to access Derbyshire County Council s systems An internet connection A device with a web browser to access OWA on A method or device capable of issuing a one-time password which has been registered with the Service Desk. The one-time password will be used as part of the logon procedure and can be issued via a smart phone, mobile phone, or a physical token issued by Derbyshire County Council. This guide details instructions for obtaining the one-time password in a text message to your mobile phone. This can be a Derbyshire County Council issued mobile phone or a personally owned mobile phone. A SMS text will be sent by the system to the mobile phone number you provide which will contain the one-time password that will be used as part of the logon process.
