[All_jlab_accounts] JLab MFA Roll-out Update; Group File Server Changes Made During Shutdown

[deborah magaldi]

All Jefferson Lab computer account holders (users) who access the group 
file server (previously M:\ on Windows, /group on Unix, \\jlabgrp on 
Macs) have likely been impacted by the group file server split that 
occurred during the holiday break. Please read below for details.

On December 27, 2016, the IT Division split the group file server into 
two areas: open science and JSA/sensitive information. You may notice a 
difference in how your group directory files are now accessed.

*/If you haven’t yet rebooted your machine to pick up these changes to 
the group file server, please do so before leaving today./*

*Windows Users*

After the file split, the M:\ drive on Windows now points to the new 
JSA/sensitive information group area. If you wish to access open science 
directories, you will need to use the new O:\ drive. For those JLab 
users who use UNC path names, the new JSA/sensitive information is now 
referenced from \\jlabsgrp\sgroup.

*Mac Users*

Mac users typically must mount the group shares manually. The procedure 
to mount the open science area and subdirectories remains the same. In 
order to access the new JSA/sensitive information group area, a Mac will 
have to be managed by the Computer Center and configured to allow local 
smartcard logon. The procedure for mapping the new JSA/sensitive 
information group area is to use the server \\jlabsgrp and mount the 
“sgroup” share.

*Linux Users*

Linux users wanting access to JSA/sensitive information must be on a 
Level 1, RHEL6 or RHEL7 system. After the file split, the /group area 
now points to the open science group area. To access JSA/sensitive 
information group directories, you now need to use /sgroup. Not all 
machines have access to the new /sgroup area. If you find you need 
access to this area, please contact the IT Division Helpdesk: 
helpdesk at jlab.org or x7155.

*MFA Roll-out Continues*

We thank all the users who have already picked up their multi-factor 
authentication (MFA) smartcards. We passed out more than 200 during 
December!

issuance schedule at the Helpdesk and by building, FAQs and details on 
how these changes will impact you, please visit the following website:
