As brought online yesterday, a web proxy has been configured for
specific limited use of the Internet. This access requires a
configuration change in your browser. Instructions for configuring
your browser to work with the web proxy are at the URL: <a
href="https://cc.jlab.org/proxysetup">https://cc.jlab.org/proxysetup</a>
(requires log-on to view). If you have additions to the web proxy
list that are mission critical, please submit them to <a
href="mailto:helpdesk@jlab.org">helpdesk@jlab.org</a>.<br>
<br>
For most staff and all users, general web access to the Internet is
planned to be restored within a few days. Some staff will continue
to use the web proxies at least for the near term. <br>
<br>
Access to additional Internet services to and from the lab, e.g. ssh
outbound, ftp, etc., are being worked on but in some cases will take
longer to restore. <br>
<br>
Contact the helpdesk for any issues: <a
href="mailto:helpdesk@jlab.org">helpdesk@jlab.org</a>, 7155<br>
