What is the IONIS account?#
The IONIS account (also known as the Bocal account) gives you access to all tools shared across IONIS group schools:
- Microsoft 365
- EPITA mailbox
- School Wi-Fi
- Auriga (planning, grades, syllabus, etc)
- Zeus (old planning tool, can be used as a fallback for Auriga)
Receiving your credentials#
The login credentials for this account are sent to you via SMS at enrollment (or by email if you do not have a French mobile phone number yet). The SMS is sent by EPITA, the email is sent by noreply@console.bocal.org and has the title “Console BOCAL EPITA PASSWORD”.
In case you have not received anything or forgot your password, please follow our password recovery guide. You will need to provide your EPITA email address to continue the procedure.
It is not possible to set your own password, it can only be generated by following the above procedure.
Logging in from your phone#
The first step of our guide requires you to log in to your Microsoft 365 account from your smartphone.
Go to https://portal.office.com and sign in with your IONIS credentials.
If this is your first time logging in, you will be asked to set up multi-factor authentication to secure your account. To do so, install the Microsoft Authenticator app on your smartphone (Android, iOS).
