Account enabling is a two step process. Validating and enabling. If you do not have a CAEDM account, contact the CAEDM SysOps. If you have changed your password in CAEDM and your account is not enabled, it is most likely because your account was not validated correctly (see above). If you continue to have difficulty, contact the ECEn SysOps.

The ECEn department now synchronizes its users' passwords with CAEDM. To change your ECEn password, you must change your CAEDM password. This can be done through the CAEDM Account Manager. (You can also set up a new CAEDM account, if needed.) Your new password will take effect within about 10 minutes.

Please refer to the password guidelines found in the CAEDM Knowledge Base.

Some users might think that they have no important files and, therefore, no need to be careful about their choice and protection of passwords. However, once an illegal user gains access to one account it is easier for him/her to gain additional unauthorized network access, so by not protecting your account you may be placing other users of the system at risk. it's also worth noting that by gaining access to your account a malicious user may be able to do damage that looks as though it has been done by you. Both for your own sake and for that of other system users we strongly encourage you to choose a secure password and maintain its secrecy.

Accounts will be disabled if: Accounts are typically disabled the day before classes begin on any given semester or term, however, they may be disabled as early as the last day of finals of the previous semester or term. Please plan accordingly.

The following actions should reenable your account: If you still have problems, try logging into a CAEDM windows machine. Come visit or email the ECEn SysOps after you have tried this.
