In the IUB and IUPUI STCs and RTCs, how do I log in or log out?

For information regarding the standards and practices governing use of the Indiana University Bloomington Student Technology Centers (STCs), see Student Technology Centers standards and practices.

For information regarding the standards and practices governing use of the IUPUI STCs, see STC Policies.

To log into or out of an IUB or IUPUI STC or Residential Technology Center (RTC) computer, follow the appropriate set of directions below.

Windows

Logging in

Windows computers in the STCs and RTCs display a login prompt. To log in, you need an ADS domain account; you will have created an ADS domain account when you ran the Starter Kit to create your first IU computing accounts.

To log into the computer:

1. Press Ctrl-Alt-Del.
   
   
2. In the resulting dialog box, in the "User name:" field, type your username.
   
   
3. In the "Password:" field, type the passphrase for your ADS domain account. Unless you've changed it, this is the passphrase you chose when you first received your account. (Various services use different sources for authentication. Thus, if you have different passphrases for different IUB accounts, you should synchronize your passphrases; for more information, see At IU, how do I change or synchronize my Network ID passphrase?)
   
   
4. Click OK.

Logging out

For the security of your account, before leaving an STC or RTC, you should always log out of your computer; for more, see Best practices for computer security.

1. Press Ctrl-Alt-Del.
   
   
2. In the resulting dialog box, click Log Off... .
   
   
3. If prompted whether you are sure you want to log out, click Yes.

Macintosh

Logging in

When you sit down at a computer in a Mac OS X STC or RTC and click the mouse button, you'll see a login prompt. To log in, you need an IU Network ID and an ADS domain account. To log into the computer:

1. In the "Username" field, type your username.
   
   
2. In the "Network Password" field, type your IU Network ID passphrase. Unless you've changed it, this is the passphrase you chose when you received your IU Network ID.
   
   
3. Click OK. You'll see a screen reminding you to log out. Click the mouse button to continue.

Logging out

For the security of your account, before leaving an STC or RTC, you should always log out of your computer; for more, see Best practices for computer security.

To log out of a Mac OS X STC or RTC computer, click Macintosh Logout, and then click Logout.
