Information Resources Implementing CNAC Changes
During the deployment of CNAC, end-users were prompted by the CNAC agent to enter their University username and password once, thereafter allowing them to gain access to network resources. All end-users will be required to re-authenticate to the network via the CNAC client on a monthly basis. This will initially occur on Wednesday, Nov. 10. End-users should expect to enter their University username and password into the CNAC agent before gaining access to network resources. This process will allow us to continually assess the validity and health of our computing environment. The CNAC re-authentication process will routinely occur on the second Wednesday of each month beginning in January 2011.
Additional information can be found in the announcements section of the my.scranton portal. We thank you for your patience and understanding as we implement these changes. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the Technology Support Center at 570-941-HELP or at techsupport@scranton.edu.
