Access may be revoked at any time for reasons including non-compliance with security policies, request by the user's supervisor or negative impact on overall network performance attributable to remote connections. Remote access privileges will be reviewed upon an employee's change of departments. The administration and authentication system for remote access will be centrally managed. Affiliates are personnel that are not faculty, staff or students at the University who require remote access privileges. Affiliations may be requested by faculty and staff and are subject to an approval process.
Affiliations are valid for a maximum of six months and are renewable.
Authentication for remote access will be strong. Passwords will not traverse the network in the clear text and must meet minimum requirements as documented in University security policies. User-IDs must never be shared with associates, friends, family members, or others. User-IDs may not be utilized by anyone but the individuals to whom they have been issued. If access control systems are malfunctioning, the systems they support must remain unavailable until such time as the problem has been rectified.
