User Room Authentication has arrived!
Authentication will require your University Net ID to use the computers in the public user rooms.
Effective October 15th, this security measure will be effective in LC-3 and will be required in all of the public facilities by Spring '05. By logging in, we ensure that only those affiliated with the University have access to the public facilities and our network is secure.
When you first sit down at a User Room PC, press the [Ctrl] [Alt] & [Del] keys (all at the same time).
You will then be presented with a Login screen similar to one appearing below. (beginning October 15th)
In order to log in, you must:
- enter your UAlbany NetID in the first box (example: fs735246),
- enter your ITS UNIX complex password in the second box (example: we!get2shop)
- click the [Login] button.
IF YOU KNOW YOUR NETID AND ITS UNIX PASSWORD, AND ENTER THEM CORRECTLY, YOU WILL BE LOGGED ONTO the machine and therefore may ignore the remainder of this document.
If you DO NOT know your NetID, you must set it before you will be able to log in.
In order to set your NetID, you must first have:
- Your social security number
- Your PIN number
- A complex password

As of Spring '05, all of the University's Public facilities will be using this authentication.
