Staff using computers on the student subnets, will also need to login using their Authcate accounts. Full staff implementation across all of Monash is scheduled to occur on December 1st for Gippsland staff and from the 15th January 2001 for the rest of Monash. The effect should be minimal. Students should know their Authcate login details as they use this to access exam results on the web, web re-enrolment, the My Monash portal, restricted Monash web sites and the Library system. The ITS and Faculty Helpdesks will help students if they have forgotten their Authcate details.
Students already have Authcate accounts.
Your MMS account is your Authcate account. If you dont have an Authcate account or you are not sure, please contact your local IT Support person or the ITS HelpDesks. Authentication will not be necessary at all within the Monash domain. There will be no performance disadvantages in using the proxy service. Accessing popular sites will actually be faster as these will be stored in a local cache on the proxy servers eliminating the need for lengthy downloads from remote sites.
