Solving Password Problems

Scenario 1: Office/department website password is the same as someone’s personal password.

-          Only the person who has the website password can change it.

-          That person must call the Help Desk to have the password reset.

-          Then, that person must e-mail Web Initiatives the password.

-          Web Initiatives will update the password in Dreamweaver

-          Then, Web Initiatives will use Dreamweaver to create a new Contribute Key.

 

Scenario 2: Intrasun Accounts are often synced with personal name/e-mail.  They need to be set up so they are in sync with department/office password.

-          The department/office wishing to use Intrason must create a Unix account.

-          Then, Web Initiatives will contact Network & Technical Services to switch ownership of the Intrason account to the department account

 

Scenario 3: New Account

-          Web Initiatives will go to the Help Desk and request a new account.
