As part of the continuing efforts of the Office of Information Technology
(OIT) to simplify the computing environment, the Workstations at Maryland (WAM) and Glue
systems will start using University Directory authentication beginning on
January 16, 2007.
This means that you will use your Directory password to log into WAM
and Glue instead of using your WAM and Glue password.
Other systems that currently use WAM and Glue logins will also
begin using the Directory password. The systems that will be affected
are:
- University Wireless Authentication
- Virtual Private Networking (VPN)
- The Glue Research and Academic Computing Environment (GRACE), a component
of Glue
Departmental systems that use WAM and Glue authentication
will also be affected.
You use your Directory ID and password to log into Testudo,
ARES (to complete your electronic timesheet if you're a university employee),
and Mail@umd e-mail account. In addition, WAM and Glue
systems now use the Directory ID and password; this means you have fewer
passwords to
remember. If you are unsure of what your ID is, you can
use the
Identity Verification site to find out what it is. If you've
forgotten your password, you can reset it at the
Password Management site.
We hope that this change makes accessing the university's information
technology resources easier for you. If you have any questions, please
contact the OIT Help Desk.
