The eEspresso portal serves as a vital digital hub for employees of the Jewish General Hospital (JGH), part of the CIUSSS West-Central Montreal Health and Social Services University Network. This online account management system provides a centralized location for staff to handle various human resources and payroll-related tasks. It's designed to streamline administrative processes, offering convenience and efficiency for the dedicated healthcare professionals. To ensure heightened data privacy and align with current security standards, eEspresso access has transitioned to the Logibec Connex portal. This change introduces multi-factor authentication (MFA) as a mandatory security measure for anyone accessing the system from outside CIUSSS facilities. The portal continues to offer the same essential services, but now with a robust layer of protection for your sensitive employment information.

Navigating Account Access Difficulties
⚠️ Cannot access eEspresso from home / MFA issues
Cause: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is not properly set up or the Duo Mobile app is not functioning.
Solution: We know being locked out is stressful. First, ensure you have downloaded and activated the Duo Mobile application on your cell phone as it's essential for secure external access. Follow the MFA activation steps carefully, which typically involve scanning a QR code from the Connex portal to link your Duo account. Remember, the Connex portal URL `https://c1.authlogibec.com/auth/realms/CCOMTL/account/totp` is specifically for MFA activation. If issues persist, contact the IT team for immediate assistance.
⚠️ Forgot Windows/eEspresso username or password
Cause: Incorrect login credentials.
Solution: Your eEspresso login uses your standard Windows username and password. If you've forgotten these, you'll need to follow your institution's standard password reset procedures for your network account. For specific eEspresso related credential issues, contact the IT team.
⚠️ General technical difficulties accessing the portal
Cause: Browser issues, network problems, or temporary portal unavailability.
Solution: Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, or attempt accessing the portal from a different web browser. Ensure your internet connection is stable. If the problem continues, there might be a system-wide issue, and it's best to reach out to the IT support team.
