<div dir="ltr">Hi MCR LTER folks with server accounts here at MSI,<div><br></div><div>I trust you already received the email below from Jim. We have been anticipating this merge of our login system (called LDAP) for a long time. This is progress. This will not be a problem for MOST of you, but will be a problem for a few of you. </div><div><br></div><div>We expect problems initially if your account is new or you have recently changed your groups or password or if you have accounts on both SBC and MCR and have been using the duplicate account without realizing it. </div><div><br></div><div>Please just ask for me or Jim to help before struggling! </div><div><br></div><div><a href="mailto:help@msi.ucsb.edu">help@msi.ucsb.edu</a> goes to Jim. Feel free to cc me. </div><div>Please do not type your password into those help requests. </div><div><br></div><div>Yes, we will ask you to reboot. Before you reboot, please disable the "Reconnect on login" feature of mapping a network drive because that will conflate 2 problems. I do not recommend using that feature, but if you must, then please just disable it until we settle any switchover issues.</div><div><br></div><div>I will be checking work email tomorrow (July 4th) but not as frequently as usual. </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you,</div><div>Gastil</div><div><br></div><div>PS: This message was sent to <a href="mailto:mcr_all@lternet.edu">mcr_all@lternet.edu</a>. <br><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">James Woods</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jwoods@ucsb.edu">jwoods@ucsb.edu</a>></span><br>Date: Mon, Jul 3, 2017 at 1:44 PM<br>Subject: [MSI-News] Adelie File Server and MSI Accounts<br>To: msi-news <<a href="mailto:msi-news@lists.msi.ucsb.edu">msi-news@lists.msi.ucsb.edu</a>><br><br><br><div><div>Hello All,</div><div><br></div><div>The research file server (<a href="http://adelie.msi.ucsb.edu" target="_blank">adelie.msi.ucsb.edu</a>) has run off of a separate user account tree for a long time. This means that you could have two accounts just to access departmental systems. Over the past year we have been merging user accounts from the adelie system into the MSI account system. At this point we are ready to switch over to just using MSI accounts.</div><div><br></div><div>Q. What does this mean?</div><div>A. an MSI Account will give you access to all departmental-hosted services instead of using two different systems. This has no affect whatsoever on UCSBnetid or Lifesci Accounts.</div><div><br></div><div>Q. Does this change my account? </div><div>A. The switch <b>should</b> be seamless for most users. You will use the same username and password combination to authenticate to any MSI hosted service ( for example, <a href="http://files.msi.ucsb.edu" target="_blank">files.msi.ucsb.edu</a> and <a href="http://adelie.msi.ucsb.edu" target="_blank">adelie.msi.ucsb.edu</a> file servers). We do expect to see some issues.</div><div><br></div><div>Q. My account isn't working, what do I do?</div><div>A. Send a note to <a href="mailto:help@msi.ucsb.edu" target="_blank">help@msi.ucsb.edu</a> and we will look in to your account set up.</div><div><br></div><div>Q. My account works, but I don't have access to folders that I had before, what do I do?</div><div><div>A. Send a note to <a href="mailto:help@msi.ucsb.edu" target="_blank">help@msi.ucsb.edu</a> and we will look in to your account permissions.</div><div><br></div><div>We will complete the switch over <b>Today, July 3rd at 5pm. </b>Make sure to save all your open files on <a href="http://adelie.msi.ucsb.edu" target="_blank">adelie.msi.ucsb.edu</a> and be prepared to log off of that server. </div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for your patience during this migration.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>Jim Woods</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div><br>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>
