Overview

The page explains an issue encountered with FAU's Single Sign-On web login, describing why the message appears and how users can resolve or avoid it.

Stale Request Explanation

  • The message appears if the Back button is used while navigating a secure web site or application.
  • Bookmarking the login form instead of the intended website may trigger this warning.
  • Clicking on a link created by someone who incorrectly bookmarked the login form can also cause this error.
  • Unresolved, this could lead to browser errors or unintended site returns, so this notification is provided.

Account Activation and Resources

  • New users are prompted to activate their FAU account to access single sign-on features.
  • A direct link is provided for activating accounts.
  • Additional account resources are accessible through a dedicated accounts webpage.

Recommendations / Advice

  • Avoid bookmarking the login form; instead, bookmark the actual target website.
  • Do not use the browser Back button when navigating secure login processes.
  • If encountering this error, proceed to activate your account if new, or visit account support resources as needed.
