Click Next. A TRACS Logon will popup. Enter your WASS ID and Password and click OK to transmit the file(s). Click Cancel if you are not ready to transmit at this time.
If you have already successfully transmitted a file, the WASS ID Logon popup will not appear. After a successful connection, this WASS ID and password will be saved for the current session only. If you close Property Manager completely and come back to transmit files, you will be required to re-enter your WASS ID. It's recommended to log off Property Manager when you are not at your desk to prevent others from transmitting files under your WASS ID.
If your WASS ID/Password is incorrect, you will get the following message:
You have entered an invalid WASS ID/Password. From the Confirm Transmission tab, you can click on <<Prev and try again.
Please be aware that this ID and password are case sensitive.
If it has been 60 days or more since you last changed your password, go to https://hudapps.hud.gov/HUD_Systems/ to renew your password.
If you can successfully connect to Secure Systems with your WASS ID and still encounter this problem, contact Bostonpost Client Support at myMRI or contact a Client Support Analyst directly at (877) 579-8896 for assistance.
