As part of ITS’s ongoing efforts to improve the UNB website while also reducing security vulnerabilities, UNB’s Unix services will be decommissioned on July 31, 2013.
 
Beginning May 6, no new Unix accounts have been created; however, anyone with an existing Unix account will continue to have access to unix.unb.ca until July 31, when this service will be permanently removed.
 
If you currently use Unix, please prepare to move to linux.unb.ca or another system prior to this date.
 
If you currently edit your UNB professional page or a UNB webpage through Unix or Contribute, please visit the ITS website at: http://www.unb.ca/its/faculty-staff/create-professional-webpages.html for information on how to claim a website on UNB’s new web hosting service. Any websites not moved over to the new host prior to July 31, 2013 will no longer be accessible.
 
If you use Pine as your email client, it is recommended you move to Microsoft Outlook, UNB’s supported email client, as soon as possible. After July 31, Pine will no longer work.
 
For assistance or questions, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 453-5199 or helpdesk@unb.ca .
 
 

Effective immediately faculty, staff and retirees NOT within the connectEd environment (also known as Exchange) will no longer be able to send email through UNB’s email server when off campus.  This has been identified as a vulnerability which has been exploited by spammers as a result of successful phishing attempts.
 
If you are experiencing trouble sending email from off-campus please contact the ITS Help Desk for assistance – helpdesk@unb.ca or 453-5199.
 
Want to make sure you’re connectEd?
Log in to your myUNB Portal and look under the UNB Email widget; if there is ONLY a single link titled ‘Go to my email and calendar’ you are connectEd. You can click on this link to check and send emails or manage your calendar from any computer on or off campus.
 
If you aren’t connectEd and would like to be, please email the ITS Help Desk with your request.
 
If you have any questions, please contact the ITS Help Desk at 453-5199 or helpdesk@unb.ca .
