There are also answers to the most common issues you may experience.
  
-When you start at UVA, you get a userid (something like "//​abc1de//"​),​ which you use to access general UVA sites like Collab or Netbadge systems. When you get a CS Dept. account, you will have an identical userid ("//​abc1de//"​),​ //but a different password than the one you use for general UVA systems//. **When the CS account is created for you, you are sent an email with a temporary password that needs to be changed upon first login.** See //New Account Information//​ below.+When you start at UVA, you get a userid (something like "//​abc1de//"​),​ which you use to access general UVA sites like Collab or Netbadge systems. When you get a CS Dept. account, you will have an identical userid ("//​abc1de//"​),​ //but a different password than the one you use for general UVA systems//. **When the CS account is created for you, you are sent an email with a temporary password that needs to be changed upon first login.** See //Account Information//​ below.
  
-==== New Account Information ==== 
- 
----- 
-Welcome! ​ Your account for the Computer Science network has been created, and you have been emailed the account information.  ​ 
- 
-This account is for logging into servers and desktops within the CS Dept. It is NOT for CS websites or general UVA systems like Collab or other general UVA systems. Even though your user id is the same as your NetBadge user id used for UVA systems, //your CS account password is only for CS Dept. systems//. 
- 
-You have been issued a temporary password, so the first time you log in you will be asked to set a new password. The easiest way to change your temporary password is to open a “terminal” window on your laptop or desktop, and use //ssh// to //​portal.cs.virginia.edu//,​ for example “''//​ssh abc1de@portal.cs.virginia.edu//''​”. You will then be asked for a new password, which you should set to a password you typically use. You will then use this password to login to all CS network systems. See [[linux_ssh_access|Linux SSH Access]] for more information. 
- 
-Note: if you want to use the NX/​Nomachine cluster to get a graphical desktop (see: [[nx_lab|NX Linux Remote Desktop Cluster]]) you should FIRST login to //portal// to change your temporary password. NX will not let you login with that temporary password. 
- 
-If you set your CS password, then forget it, you can reset it below. 
- 
-== Regular accounts vs. mysql accounts == 
-Please view this video for important information about mysql accounts. One thing not mentioned in the video is that your regular account and your mysql account are two different accounts with two different initial passwords, keep that in mind!

 **CS Firewall** We are blocking SSH connection attempts from outside of the UVA network, with one exception. You are not able to SSH directly into CS hosts from outside of UVA, except for connections to ''​%%portal.cs.virginia.edu%%'',​ from which you can ssh to other CS servers. See [[linux_ssh_access|here]] for more information. (//Side note... this change effectively blocks 1.2 million intrusion attempts per day).// **CS Firewall** We are blocking SSH connection attempts from outside of the UVA network, with one exception.
