Project Status Updates

The university's WAM accounts (e-mail, file storage, Web page hosting) will be merged into the Glue environment by the end of this summer. All of the features offered by the WAM environment will be available in the Glue environment.

Changes to individual WAM accounts will begin in the coming weeks and be completed on the weekend of August 23, 2008. If you are a WAM user, your account will be affected in the following ways:

• Your WAM account will become a Glue account. If you don't currently have a Glue account, one will be created for you.
• All data stored in WAM folders will be copied to Glue folders.
• All Glue quotas will be raised to accommodate the space required to merge the contents of your WAM folders into Glue folders.
• Users of WAM labs or labs managed by OIT that use WAM-related resources will log into Glue using your Directory ID.
• WAM e-mail and Web pages will be available as Glue e-mail and Web pages.
• All references to wam.umd.edu (e.g., e-mail addresses and Web pages) will continue to exist for at least one year.

We expect this change to make accessing university information technology resources simpler for you. If you have any questions, please contact the OIT Help Desk.
