ITU recently sent out an email with a subject of: "Password expirations to begin August 7, 2011" This email is legitimate and is not a phishing atttempt - although it might be somewhat incomplete and potentially confusing. Below are some more details: On August 7, the login password for: INB PI Discoverer ePrint Datamart will change from the current password to your GMU netID password (the one for PatriotWeb and email). However, to access the systems above after Sunday, August 7, you must change your GMU password to force the new password to be sent to those systems. To change your password, go to: http://password.gmu.edu and select option 2 - then follow the prompts. You will also have to go through a security awareness quiz which is required by the Commonwealth of Virginia. Please remember that you will have to reset your password on any client (Outlook, Thunderbird, iPhone, iPad, etc.) you use to read gmu.edu email. If you don't use INB or the other applications, you do NOT have to do anything at this time. However, later this month GMU will begin a process that will force all email passwords to change every 6 months. They will send out password expiration warnings when that process begins and then every 6 months. Please contact me if you have any questions about this. Please contact ITU Support at 993-8870 if you have any problems with the password change process or with accessing INB, etc. Jonathan -- ================================================================== Jonathan Goldman Volgenau School of Engineering Director of Computing Resources George Mason University (703) 993-3506 4400 University Dr. MSN 4A3 fax (703) 993-3977 Fairfax, VA 22030-4444
