So .....

If users search for UAonline, the top link correctly publishes https://www.alaska.edu/uaonline.

However, Google also lists as a possible link "UA Login".  That goes to https://cas.alaska.edu/cas/login and informs the user that they are successfully logged in.

I have altered METADATA in all the places I can find to include ... <meta name="robots" content="noindex">.

The locations I could find where that seem to be pertinent were:

cas/WEB-INF/view/jsp/default/ui/includes/top.jsp:             <meta name="robots" content="noindex" />

cas/WEB-INF/view/jsp/default/ui/casLoginView.jsp:      <meta name="robots" content="noindex" />

cas/WEB-INF/view/jsp/services/includes/top.jsp:  <meta name="robots" content="noindex" />


What am I missing?

That should be correct.  The other way I know how is to add a robots.txt to the folder. More information: https://moz.com/learn/seo/robotstxt

You might need to tell Google to re-index your site to pick up the changes.

Check out this article (https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/93710?hl=en), which has links to initiate the re-indexing.

PS

I already followed through the the re-indexing suggestion found in your link.

I will check on the robots.txt approach.
