	~~== Types of Accounts ==~~		#REDIRECT [[Accounts]]
	~~A UMIACS Account is a collection of distinct account credentials, associated with a unique user, that provide access to various UMIACS systems and related resources.~~

	~~When a UMIACS Account is first created, three sets of credentials (Windows, UNIX, and Jira) are configured based on the username and password requested via the~~ [~~https://intranet.umiacs.umd.edu/requests/accounts/new/ UMIACS Account Request] (new users: see~~ [~~[GettingStarted]].)~~

	~~==== [[OSSupport \| Windows]] ====~~
	~~:Your Windows (aka "[[ActiveDirectory \|Active Directory]~~]~~") account authenticates against our Active Directory domain and is set when you first create your UMIACS account.~~
	~~:It controls access for the following resources:~~
	~~::*Windows computers~~
	~~::*[[Exchange~~]~~] e-mail~~
	~~::*[[VPN]] Authentication~~

	~~==== [[OSSupport \| UNIX]] ====~~
	~~:Your UNIX (aka "[[Kerberos]]") account authenticates against our Kerberos realm and is set when you first create your UMIACS account.~~
	~~:It controls access for the following resources:~~
	~~::*UNIX/Linux computers~~
	~~::*[[UNIXEmail\|IMAP]] e-mail~~
	~~::*[[ApplicationResource\|AR]]-controlled resources (wikis, [[RevisionControl\|repositories]], webapps)~~

	~~==== [[Jira]] ====~~
	:Your Jira username is your UMIACS username. By default, the [[Jira]] account associated with your @umiacs email address authenticates against the Kerberos realm. However it is possible to set a separate password for this account. If you change your password through the Jira web interface it will create a '''new''', '''separate''' password, and no longer authenticate against the Kerberos realm. Changing your Jira password DOES NOT change any other UMIACS passwords.

	:Please note that Jira creates a new account for each new email address it sees (including non-UMIACS addresses like @gmail or @umd.edu addresses.) This occasionally causes some confusion for new users. Please see the [[Jira]] page for further details.

	~~== Changing your password ==~~
	~~==== Approved Methods ====~~
	~~There are currently two ways to change your UMIACS passwords:~~
	*Via the web interface tool on the UMIACS Intranet at:
	~~:https://intranet.umiacs.umd.edu/password~~
	*Stop by the [[HelpDesk\|UMIACS Helpdesk]], in room 3142 AVW
	~~::If you plan on stopping by the UMIACS Helpdesk, please make sure to bring photo ID~~
	~~==== Password Requirements ====~~
	~~#Must be atleast 8 characters in length~~
	~~#Must have alteast 3 of the following character classes: lower-case letters, upper-case letters, numbers, punctuation, special characters~~
	~~#Cannot be the same as any of your previous 5 passwords~~
	~~#Cannot contain a string that is part of your username~~
	~~==== Off-site or out-of-state users ====~~
	UMIACS Staff requires positive identification before we'll honor a request to change a password. In the event that you are unable to change your password via the methods above, send an email to staff@umiacs.umd.edu detailing your situation. Typically, we'll ask you to get in touch with your PI/advisor, as they should be able to identify you. They will work with staff to reset your password on your behalf, and then communicate it to you in a secure manner.
	~~==== Forgotten Passwords ====~~
	~~If you have forgotten your UMIACS password, you will need to stop by the UMIACS Help Desk or follow the Off-site instructions above.~~
