Web-Based "New" and "Renew"

Updated 11/13/97 by Yonah Karp

Description of Project

The "new" account creation program is being redesigned and reengineered into a web-based utility. The initial version mirrors the functionality of the current text-based "new" and will allow creation of accounts on homer, dante, saul, etc. -- UA clusters. Further enhancement of the utilty will allow University affiliates to create a presence in our namespace, thus enabling them to use our services without needing an account.

"Renew," a web-based re-authentication password change utility, solves the need to reauthenticate to change one's password across UA systems. Previously this need was addressed by the client physically authenticating themselves at C&CI at the ACC.

Status as of 11/13/97

"Renew" has been in use since September 1997 and is being enhanced. Pete is also close to completing web "new."
