Improved Way to Publish Your Webpage Will Add More Security!

Beginning June 22nd, there will be a new process to publish a webpage. The process has been simplified via the way you log onto your website. The process calls for you to use your first.lastname information. Please note that this new process on how to log onto your website will not disrupt or change any of the content you have already created for your site. Also, the process change will take a couple days, June 20th and June 21st, so please refrain from publishing anything on your website until the change is complete. Ronna Johnston has drafted an informative document with more details. The document will be available via UNC Today and email; I will also post it below. Have a great week!!

Hello,
There are upcoming improvements to the process used to publish web pages to www.unco.edu. When logging on to update your Website, you are currently asked to enter a username beginning with WFUNCO\ . On June 22th 2009, this process will change and you will no longer have to remember a separate Web logon. You will instead need to enter UNCO1\ followed by your (Personal Digital Identity) firstname.lastname account and current password. This is the same logon and password you use to log on to your PC or Ursa. When your network password changes, you will also need to change the password of your Web software, such as Dreamweaver, to match.
The purpose of this change is also to enhance the security of the Web environment. Beginning June 22, you will need to always log on to the VPN site, http://remote.unco.edu, to publish Web pages. Once this log on has occurred, pages can be published using an FTP or Web authoring software, such as Dreamweaver. This VPN site can also be used for off campus Web publishing.
This change will NOT impact the current Web content you have created, it will only change the way you log on. Please visit http://www.unco.edu/websupport/webauthors/logging-on/ for instructions or contact the Technical Support Center @ (970) 351-4357 for any questions, comments or concerns regarding these changes.
To accommodate these changes to the Web server, Web authors are asked not to publish information to the UNC Web server beginning Saturday, June 20 through Sunday, June 21. This will allow time to move the current content to the new Web server environment. Any changes to Web sites made during this time period will potentially be lost.
Thank you for your cooperation in this change.
