Employees must change password by Sept. 24 Don’t lose access to the MUSC computer systems. MUSC employees' MNA, LYNX, and WebApps accounts are being merged. The merged account is known as NetID.   MUSC is changing the way computer accounts are managed. The changes will reduce the number of passwords employees will have to remember and improve the network’s security.   Users must activate their NetID by Sept. 24. If employees do not activate their account, access to PPP/VPN (off-campus access); WebAdvisor;  WebCT; MyRecords; LYNX workstations; WebApps; PREMISE; File storage/Homeroom; IMAP e-mail; Exchange e-mail; and other MNA resources will be lost.   To activate your NetID, visit http://netid.musc.edu and follow the instructions. After activating your NetID, log off of the workstation and re-login. Allow up to an hour for the new password to propagate to all affected resources.    If employees are not sure if their NetID was activated, check it at https://www.carc.musc.edu/netid_status.   For information, visit http://www.musc.edu/infoservices/idam/netid/GuidetoNetID.pdf or e-mail questions to ocio-idms@musc.edu.     Friday, Sept. 14, 2007 Catalyst Online is published weekly, updated as needed and improved from time to time by the MUSC Office of Public Relations for the faculty, employees and students of the Medical University of South Carolina.
