Trouble logging into Abtrac from a shortcut
If you start getting an error message each time you login to Abtrac your shortcut may have linked incorrectly.
If that’s the case this message appears to stop people logging in and accessing Abtrac when they aren’t properly authenticated.
To fix this first logout properly using the following URL https://www.abtraconline.com/Account/Logout/
Then follow the steps above to set a valid shortcut.
