== Login and Password ==
=== Windows XP computers, managed by ISG.EE ===
You will be given a username and one or several passwords by your institute for different logins. Most likely, these logins (username and password) will be the following:
Line 8: Line 5:
 * Windows-Login
  . This is your username and password for Windows-PCs that are managed by ISG.EE. You can also use this username to access Linux workstations or Mac workstations managed by ISG.EE. In August 2009, this is also your login for the email-server at D-ITET (mail.ee.ethz.ch)

 * n.ethz-Login
  . This is your username and password for ETH-wide services such as email on Exchange, vpn, printer release stations, IDES and more.

One of the first things you should do is to change your passwords.

To change the Windows/Tardis-Password, open a browser and open this page: https://apps.ee.ethz.ch/cligui
The password requirements are the same as the n.ethz password requirements and are listed below and on the cligui website.
This will also change your email password if you use the ISG Mail "Tardis" (webmail can be found at http://email.ee.ethz.ch)

To change your n.ethz- or Exchange-Email-Password , open a browser and open this page: http://password.ethz.ch

The password requirements are as follows (dated January 2010):

 . Password length: 8 to 30 characters
 . Allowed characters:
  . a-z, A-Z, 0-9
 . Allowed special characters: #+,-./:=?@[]^{}~
 . No umlate, no spaces
 . At least one special character and one number
 . The password may not contain a word that can be found in a dictionary

The same password requirements are listed again in http://password.ethz.ch in German

=== Windows 7 computers, managed by ISG.EE ===
One of the big improvements in the computing environment managed by ISG.EE will be the single sign-on. All of your resources will be accessible by one password (the n.ethz-Password).

Open a browser and open this page: http://password.ethz.ch. Do NOT select "Advanced Modus" unless you know exactly what you are doing. If possible, change the password in "Basic Modus".

Changing your password this way will change the passwords for the following services:

 . Access to the D domain
 . Access to n.ethz
 . Access to Email if you are using ETH's Exchange Mail server
  . (If you use the ISG Mail "Tardis" (webmail can be found at http://email.ee.ethz.ch) please change your email password at https://apps.ee.ethz.ch/cligui

The password requirements are as follows (dated January 2010):

 . Password length: 8 to 30 characters
 . Allowed characters:
  . a-z, A-Z, 0-9
 . Allowed special characters: #+,-./:=?@[]^{}~
 . No umlate, no spaces
 . At least one special character and one number
 . The password may not contain a word that can be found in a dictionary

The same password requirements are listed again in http://password.ethz.ch in German

Data

Personal Data

You should save your personal data (created files) to a folder on the H: drive which is secured by a nightly backup. We can also restore data from a previous day if you delete something accidentally. For a reqeust, send an email to support@ee.ethz.ch

The W: drive contains application configuration files of your application. Do not delete these folders "to make space" or "clean up a bit".

Local Temporary Data

On every Windows host, there is a folder called C:\Scratch (the equivalent folder on a Linux box would be /scratch). We recommend to use this folder for processing large amounts of computing data. This will also result in a performance boost because you will not read and write data via the network.

Please be aware that C:\Scratch is not secured by a backup. If the harddisc crashes, your data will be lost.
