If you sponsor someone with a computer user account at JLab, you will receive an email on Feb. 18 with information on how to complete your user audit. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the audit, contact Jessica A. Perry, x7262.

JLab Wireless Certificate Changes
The authentication certificate for the 'jlab' and 'jlab_acc' wireless networks will be updated on Thursday, Feb. 7 at 12 p.m. Depending on your operating system or mobile platform, you may be asked to accept the new certificate once the change is complete. The name of the certificate will either be 'jlabacs1.jlab.org' or 'jlabacs2.jlab.org'. Accept the certificate if you are prompted to do so. No other changes to your wireless configuration are needed. If you experience any problems, contact the IT Helpdesk, x7155.

Java Update Set for Tonight
There are new versions of Java 1.7 and 1.6 that fix some remote execution vulnerabilities.

A reboot may be required to finalize the update. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the IT Helpdesk, x7155.
