News and Updates

09.24.2009 - ONID Maintenance Saturday September 26th 8:00am-8:15am
The ONID email server (imap.onid.oregonstate.edu) will be unavailable Saturday September 26th from 8:00am to 8:15am. We will be applying an update to fix a security vulnerability. Incoming email will be queued and delivered after the maintenance is complete.
09.04.2009 - Announcing people.oregonstate.edu
What is changing? ONID personal web sites, previously available at http://oregonstate.edu/~username, will be moving to their own web site at http://people.oregonstate.edu/~username on September 14th.
Why the change? The people.oregonstate.edu web site was established to clearly delineate personal web sites from other OSU related web sites and to enhance personal web sites. These changes allow for possible future enhancements, such as an opt-in directory listing of personal web sites. In addition this prevents personal web sites that contain malware from causing the entire oregonstate.edu domain to be marked as a malware site.
What do you need to do? Update any information that references your previous page by replacing http://oregonstate.edu/~username with http://people.oregonstate.edu/~username. We will automatically redirect requests from the old web site to the new web site.
We do not expect these changes to impact your current site. In the event that your site is no longer functional, please first check your site for places where you will need to specify people.oregonstate.edu and update your configuration. If your site is still not functioning, please open a help ticket and select "Systems" as the General Subject. If you have hardcoded oregonstate.edu/~username or oregonstate.edu in configuration files or links, you will want to change this to people.oregonstate.edu.
09.04.2009 - ONID FTP Service Retirement September 18th
On September 18th, we will be turning off the ONID FTP service (ftp.onid.orst.edu) as part of our ongoing efforts to eliminate insecure authentication of ONID accounts (cleartext passwords on the network).
We will be sending email notification to anyone still using ONID FTP. Our recommendation is to switch to an SSH-based secure file copy program such as WinSCP or Cyberduck. Please read our instructions for help downloading and using these programs.

07.10.2009 - ONID IMAP server changes
Beginning on August 15, 2009, all connections to the ONID IMAP email server (imap.onid.oregonstate.edu) must use SSL or TLS encryption. The server will no longer allow un-encrypted connections. You will need to turn on SSL or TLS encryption in your email client. You may make this change anytime before August 15, 2009.
For help configuring your email client to use SSL or TLS, please read the Configuring Email Clients documentation.
