ACCOUNT UNIFICATION UPDATE

In preparation for the account unification, please change your ONID password to match your CN password. Instructions for changing ONID password are here: http://onid.oregonstate.edu/chpw.shtml. ONID password requirements are fairly stringent, so users may not be able to use their current CN passwords for their ONID password. If users need to change their CN password so that it meets the ONID requirements, instructions are here:
http://oregonstate.edu/helpdocs/e-mail/exchange-outlook-oregonstateedu/change-email-password NOTE 1: you may need to update this password on all of your devices that you access ONID resources- computer, laptops, tablets, phone. If you are unable to match your account passwords, please let Stephen know at stephen.hotard@oregonstate.edu and he will work with CN to get the account passwords reset. NOTE 2: for those of you who have sent Stephen a message that you will be traveling, CN will delay the update of your accounts to a more convenient time. It is recommended that you change your ONID password as mentioned above when you have the time to do this. Please let Stephen know, if you have not done so already, if you will be traveling next week.

For the past two years, Oregon State University has operated a field station on the coast at Port Orford – a site where researchers could set up shop, public meetings were held, and OSU outreach specialists could interact with the public. The facility is expanding its role in supporting coastal research, outreach and education. An open house will be held on Saturday, Nov. 14, from 3 to 6 p.m. at the station, located at 444 Jackson St. in Port Orford. The event is designed to introduce the public to the station and to the research that is performed there. It is free and open to the public; light refreshments will be provided. More information here.

ACCOUNT UNIFICATION ON NOV. 9

The Research Office CN and Onid accounts will be unified on November 9. This means you will have 1 account and password for logging into OSU resources, instead of using CN for some services and ONID for others. IMPORTANT NOTE from Community Network: “We don’t want to unify anyone who’s traveling on the 9th or 10th, as it could affect their ability to reach OSU resources from off campus.” Please let Stephen know at stephen.hotard@oregonstate.edu if you anticipate being out of the office that day so that we can provide a list of these users to Community Network.
