In general, a person not affiliated with the institution may not use our network. However, anyone on payroll (including students) can authorize individual guest access by generating a temporary ID that will only allow access through a captive portal. http://www.doit.wisc.edu/security/policies/guest_NetID.asp http://www.doit.wisc.edu/services/guestid/index.asp The id can last up from 1-31 days. It they need access for longer, there is a more formal affiliation procedure used (that can also optionally allow access to other systems). One nice thing I like about our system is that it can generate many id's at once which is crucial for conferences. Dale ---------------------------------- Dale W.
