Status Announcements

The campus is experiencing a power outage. The extent of affected systems is unknown. Some phones are still operational, as is our main Data Center. More information when we know more.

There is planned maintenance outage of the Degree Works PRODUCTION environment Wednesday, May 13, 2015 from 5:00am to 7:00am EST.
ITEC has provided the following explanation of what is being done:
“ITEC will be installing upgrades to Apache/PHP/Perl/OpenSSL to all Degree Works production application servers.”
Service will be unavailable during this maintenance window.

Computing & Technology Services has discovered a potential vulnerability in accessing the Library’s On-Line Resources, resulting in usernames and passwords being sent unencrypted when accessing these resources from off campus and the dorms, and possibly from on campus, during the last month. It is not known if any user credentials were misappropriated due to this error.

The vulnerability has been fixed but the server involved is still undergoing configuration to permit off-campus access to work properly. CTS is working to restore full functionality.

If you have used the Library’s On-Line Resources in the past month, protect your account by changing your password:

1) visit the Potsdam home page

2) click Campus Tools (upper right)

3) click CTS

4) click Services

5) click Campus Computer Account

6) and finally click Set/Change CCA Password

As a general rule, if you ever suspect your login credentials have been used by someone else, follow the above procedure.

As always, if you have questions about the content of this notice, please contact the CTS Helpdesk: helpdesk@potsdam.edu
