Passwords CS Members Definition A UWinID and password is required to use the resources within the School. The UWinID must be "attached" to Computer Science, meaning that you must be taking a computer science course or a course hosted on our servers, be a computer science major, or a faculty or staff member employed in Computer Science. All active students and staff should have their own UWinID username and password, which is generated and maintained by the University of Windsor Information Technology Services department (ITS). People with an active UWinID and password, and with an attachment to the school of computer science resources, either through employee group, study major, or course enrollment are automatically granted access to the linked systems listed below. Specialized members of the general public, namely alumni, prospective students, event participants, school teachers, and employers may also be granted access to some resources.  UWinID and Passwords Managing your campus password You can manage your campus password by visiting UWin Account . Your UWinID DOES NOT include @uwindsor.ca. The identifier userid@uwindsor.ca , which is composed of the UWinID userid and the domain name uwindsor.ca , is your Microsoft account in the campus' Azure Active Directory tenant. Your UWinID is to be used entirely in lowercase characters! Password synchronization with Computer Science  When you change your UWinID password through UWin Account , it will synchronize automatically for CS servers that use LDAP authentication at regular intervals (every 15 minutes), with the exception of the following: CS Active Directory accounts DirectAdmin accounts Oracle Database Server accounts To synchronize your passwords for the services listed above with your campus password, please use the CS Password Utility . CS Password Utility Managing your Computer Science Password The CS Password Utiliity is an on-line self-service application designed to allow CS Members to reset their passwords and user accounts on systems and services within the School of Computer Science. You MUST use this utility after enabling your campus UWinID, and each and every time you change your campus password . You SHOULD use this utility whenever you experience trouble authenticating on CS resources. There are some characters you must not use in your campus password! In particular, you MUST NOT USE a FORWARD SLASH ( / ), BACKSLASH ( \ ), SPACE, or DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK ( " ) in your campus password. If you have ANY of these characters in your campus password, you MUST change your campus password immediately in order to use our systems! Additional non-password related functions This utility will also automatically resolve the following issues, if applicable: Remove your IP from the myweb.cs.uwindsor.ca server blacklist Unlock your Oracle account in the CS01 instance, if possible. Session results Linked Systems Computer Science Linux Desktop Servers Web Hosting services on myweb.cs.uwindsor.ca (websites, MySQL and @cs.uwindsor.ca email) cswifi Wireless Network(EAP authentication required, and checked against the CS Active Directory domain) CS Computer Lab Clients Cloud Storage (owncloud.cs.uwindsor.ca) Oracle Database (CS01 instance)now VPN The University of Windsor uses a firewall. Many protocols or ports are blocked by the firewall, so you may need to establish a connection through the campus Virtual Private Network (VPN) to access resources and data on the campus private network.  What does the VPN connection do? The VPN connection tunnels network traffic over a securely encrypted connection. Once connected to the VPN portal, your device will receive a new IP address and IP route provided by the university and recognized internally by the campus firewall.  Why do I need to use the Campus VPN? ITS Documents related to the Campus VPN Installing GlobalProtect VPN client on a Windows computer Installing GlobalProtect VPN client on macOS Installing GlobalProtect VPN client on mobile devices (Apple, Android) Installing GlobalProtect VPN client on Linux Devices Download Windows and macOS Authenticate with your UWinID and password on the university's GlobalProtect Portal to get to the GlobalProtect Client download links. Download for Windows and macOS GlobalProtect may seem to install properly in macOS, but sometimes will not work if it failed to allow access to the installed system extension. See Installing GlobalProtect VPN client on macOS . Checking the Windows version If you are running Windows, please check the version to determine if you should install the 32-bit or 64-bit version.  Press the Windows + Pause keys Android, iOS, Chromebook and Windows UMP Download the GlobalProtect Client from the respective device's app store. Android and Chrome OS devices Download the GlobalProtect App for Android Check which Chrome OS Systems support Android Apps iOS devices Download the GlobalProtect App for iOS Linux Install openconnect using the package manager for your Linux distribution. Connecting to the campus VPN Using GlobalProtect Clients Windows and macOS devices use the networklogin.uwindsor.ca portal. Mobile devices, including Android, iOS, Chromebook, and ARM-based Surface tablets, use the mobilevpn.uwindsor.ca portal. Refer to VPN#ITS_Document_related_to_the_Campus_VPN for detailed instructions for setting up a connection on your device. Using Openconnect with Linux The Openconnect integration with NetworkManager does not properly open the connection to the portal. You must use the command-line for your VPN connection to work correctly. Reserve a terminal window for the VPN connection, and run the command below, replacing userid with your UWinID , in the reserved terminal: sudo openconnect --protocol=gp mobilevpn.uwindsor.ca -u userid Linux, like mobile devices, uses the mobilevpn.uwindsor.ca portal. PAN GlobalProtect HIP with open-connect And because you are in Computer Science ... You may notice a message like POST https://mobilevpn.uwindsor.ca/ssl-vpn/hipreportcheck.esp WARNING: Server asked us to submit HIP report with md5sum 923700b124549fa2954cc08845be3c60. VPN connectivity may be disabled or limited without HIP report submission. You need to provide a --csd-wrapper argument with the HIP report submission script. this when you run open connect as shown in VPN#Using_Openconnect_with_Linux . Host Integrity Protection provides an explanation. If you want to include the --csd-wrapper option, you will need to specify the location of the script required. For Debian-based distributions, for example, you can find the location of the scripts like this ~$ dpkg -L openconnect|grep hipreport /usr/libexec/openconnect/hipreport-android.sh /usr/libexec/openconnect/hipreport.sh To avoid the above warning on a Linux client you can use Testing the VPN Connection The ping command is the simplest way to test if your active VPN Connection is working.  Windows Launch the hidden menu for power users using one of these methods: Press the Win + X keys on your keyboard Right-click on the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of your desktop In older versions of Windows 10, this menu will include shortcuts for the Command Prompt instead of Windows Powershell . Either is suitable for this test! ping 10.10.10.10 results Run ping 10.10.10.10 to determine if the campus DNS server is available. New VPN provider IP address Run ipconfig to display the new IP address while actively connected to the campus VPN portal. New VPN provided routes Run route print -4 to display the new IP routes while actively connected to the campus VPN portal. macOS Open or quit Terminal on Mac This link can be found in the Terminal User Guide menu Open a terminal and run ping 10.10.10.10 to determine if the campus DNS server is available. Your output should look similar to the Windows Powershell ping results above. Linux ping -c 5 10.10.10.10 results Run ping -c 5 10.10.10.10 to determine if the campus DNS server is available. New VPN provided IP address Using Debian, run ip addr show tun0 to display the new IP address while actively connected to the campus VPN portal. The network interface name may vary depending on the Linux distribution you use, but the IP will begin with the first two octets 172.18. New VPN provided IP routes Run ip route to display the new IP routes while actively connected to the campus VPN portal. MFA Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) provides additional security for your UWin Account. MFA is required for accessing MFA-protected services and apps, like Microsoft 365, from off-campus networks. A UWin Account identifier userid@uwindsor.ca , is composed of the UWinID userid and the domain name uwindsor.ca ; it is a Microsoft account in the uwindsor.ca domain of the campus' Azure Active Directory tenant.   ITS Documents What is MFA at UWindsor?
