When your UMIACS account is first created there are two password that are initially set.
 
==== Windows ====
:This password authenticates against our Windows domain and is set when you first create your UMIACS account. 
:It control access for the following resources:
::*Windows computers
::*[[exchange]] e-mail
::*[[VPN]] Authentication
 
==== [[Kerberos]] ====
:This password authenticates against our Kerberos Server 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, [[SourceCodeManagement|repositories]], webapps)
 
==== [[Jira]] ====
:By default [[Jira]] authenticates against the kerberos server, however it is possible to set Jira to it's own separate password.  If you change your password through the Jira web interface it will create a '''new''', '''separate''' password, and no longer authenticate against the kerberos server.  Changing your Jira password DOES NOT change any other UMIACS password.
 
== Changing your password ==
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/cgi-bin/changepass
*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.
