What is it:

• An ITS Active Directory (AD) account's username and password is always the same as your CU Login Name and IdentiKey password. It synchronizes automatically. So if you change your IdentiKey password, your AD password changes as well.
• ITS Active Directory (AD) accounts are an authentication method used to access various ITS services, like ITS's Exchange service, ITS's file storage service, and Microsoft Windows profiles in ITS managed environments.
• Often times, AD accounts are placed in AD groups managed by an administrator. Your membership of an AD group can sometimes determine your ability to access a service that uses AD authentication.

Who gets it:

• Those that are accessing AD authenticated resources like ITS's Exchange service, ITS's file storage service, or work in an ITS managed environment.

When you get it:

• Your account is ready for you if you ever start using a service like Exchange, file storage, or you're computer is part of an ITS managed environment.

Manage it:

• AD accounts are automatically synchronized with IdentiKey accounts. The only way to change your AD password is to change your IdentiKey password, using Identity Manager.
• If you are an in ITS managed environment, you are no longer able to change your AD password via the CTL-ALT-DEL function at the login screen. Al AD, therefore IdentiKey, password changes have to be made in Identity Manager.
• If you have questions about your AD account or your ability to access particular ITS services that use AD authentication, contact the IT Service Center.

Some CU-Boulder faculty, staff, and students utilize other ITS servers such as spot.colorado.edu and rintintin.colorado.edu for e-mail and/or web page hosting. E-mail can be accessed through an e-mail program such as Outlook, or through a secure terminal program called Pine. To learn more, visit www.colorado.edu/its/docs/email/otherservers.

What is it:

• Listproc is a program that runs on the ITS system lists.colorado.edu. This software allows subscribers to send messages to e-mail lists, which local list owners manage themselves.
• Listproc list owners will see their lists show up as a secondary account inside of Identity Manager. While it may be listed there, it is only for your information. The list itself and it's associated passwords cannot be managed inside of Identity Manager. Likewise, you cannot activate a list on the "Activate My Secondary Accounts" page inside of Identity Manager.
