ASPeN - Creating an OKTA Account

The process to log in to ASPeN has changed. The state of Montana now uses OKTA instead of ePass. Everyone will need to create an OKTA account for ASPeN access. 

Logging in to ASPeN for the first time with OKTA:

The easiest way to start the process is to navigate to  ASPeN.  This will take you to  http://aspen.mt.gov/.  This link will always redirect you to the current location of ASPeN.  This is the best link to bookmark.  

Go to the ASPeN home page: https://mslservices.mt.gov/aspen/ and click the login button on the right hand side of the screen.

You will be directed to a sign in/registration page. At the very bottom of the SIGN IN box there will be an area to sign up.

If you and other library staff or trustees share an e-mail address please make sure to discuss who will use the primary email and who needs to create a new one. If this poses a problem and you need suggestions or guidance, please open a helpdesk ticket.

Once your credentials have been accepted by the system you should see this:

Check your email to confirm your verification and activate your account.

In the above example the confirmation came to the primary inbox for this email account.  Depending on your settings, and other details you may have to check your spam or junk mail to find this email. This activation will be good for 7 days. If you have gone past 7 days without activating your account, you will need to request a new verification email with a helpdesk ticket.

Clicking Activate Account will open a new page. What you will see on this page depends on your account status.

Most of you do not share your email address with anyone else. If you already have an ASPeN account, your email will be recognized, and you should be directed to the ASPeN front page. 

This is what you will see if you do not already have an ASPeN account, or if you were previously sharing an email address with someone else, and had to use a new email address to register with OKTA:

Click Register to complete this process and be routed to the front page of ASPeN.
