Acceptable Use Policy for MLML

 

In an effort to protect the integrity of the MLML network and to mitigate the risks and losses associated with security threats these College Security Guidelines have been developed. 

 

Authorized Use / Access 

Access to MLML's information technology resources is a privilege granted to faculty, staff and students in support of their studies, instruction, duties as employees, official business with the University, and/or other University-sanctioned activities. Access may also be granted to individuals outside of MLML for purposes consistent with the mission of the University. 

With the exception of implicitly publicly accessible resources such as websites, access to MLML information technology resources may not be transferred or extended by members of the University community to outside individuals or groups without prior approval of faculty, staff or administrator. Such access must be limited in nature and fall within the scope of the educational mission of the institution. The authorizing University official is expected to ensure that such access is not abused. 

Gaining access to the University's information technology resources does not imply the right to use those resources. The University reserves the right to limit, restrict, remove or extend access to and privileges within, material posted on, or communications via its information technology resources, consistent with this policy, applicable law or as the result of University disciplinary processes, and irrespective of the originating access point. 

It is expected that these resources will be used efficiently and responsibly in support of the mission of the University as set forth in this policy. All other use not consistent with this policy may be considered unauthorized use. 

 

 

Privacy of Electronic Information and Communications: F97-7

The privacy of personal and professional communications and stored information is a matter of concern in an era when the speed, capacity, and complexity of communications and information technologies are greatly expanding. The faculty, staff, and students of Moss Landing Marine Labs require and deserve a reasonable degree of assurance that their e-mail, telephone calls, voice mail, or other communications, research data, academic writing, and other electronic information are transmitted and stored on University facilities with an appropriate degree of privacy and security. No electronic system is entirely secure from unauthorized intrusions, and users are to be warned that electronic communications and information can be easily accessed by third parties. Systems administrators may inspect stored data on occasions when the integrity of the system may be jeopardized, or pursuant to legal requirements, including disclosure under the Public Records Act, discovery in civil litigation, and legal searches performed in cooperation with state and federal law enforcement authorities. Because of uncertainty about who may inspect electronic files and under what circumstances, principles concerning approved access to electronic information need to be adopted as policy and distributed to all campus users of electronic communication and information storage.

Moss Landing Marine Labs supports privacy in the use of electronic communications and information storage to the maximum extent possible under state and federal laws, consistent with computer system maintenance demands. Users of campus computing facilities are expected to use them appropriately for professional and non-commercial purposes. In general, communications and other information transmitted or stored on campus computing facilities are the property of their authors and intended recipients, and no third party other than the creator or designated recipient is authorized to intercept such information or communications, except that inspections of electronic mail may occur for the purpose of technical problem resolution, if approved by the user or the appropriate computer affairs administrator or supervisor for the resolution of a specific technical problem or suspected misuse that is believed to endanger the integrity of the computer system. All electronic mail and files in authorized accounts stored on any campus computing systems shall be considered to be private and confidential, except as required by state or federal law.

Using Firefox on MLML Networks

If you're trying to use the Mozilla Firefox web browser (or a web browser based on Firefox), you may experience delays in connecting to MLML intranet sites, or be unable to access them at all. This is because, by default, Firefox uses a feature called DNS-over-HTTPS to increase user privacy. However, this means that the MLML network cannot see and redirect your browser queries when you try to access an intranet site.

To disable this feature, navigate to Firefox settings, and scroll to the bottom of the "General" page. Under the "Network Settings" section, click "Settings".

image-1624565522559.png

 

Scroll to the bottom of the Connection Settings window and uncheck the box labeled "Enable DNS over HTTPS". DNS over HTTPS should be disabled, as shown in the screenshot below:

How to Share Large Files with People using Google Drive

 

Google Drive is an excellent choice. You already have access through your SJSU email account, and the file size is essentially unlimited.

Also, if you send an attachment larger than 20MB in Gmail, it will add it to your Google Drive and give you a link to that file to share.

Click here for a quick-start guide.

File Services

Connect to a File Server with a Specific Username (macOS)

 


To connect to an SMB file server using a different username, you can use this procedure:

  1. In the Finder, choose the Go menu, then select Connect to Server.

     

  2. Type the network address for the computer or server in the Server Address field in the following format:
    smb://username:*@server.name
  3. The ” * ” is to trigger the server login window for your SMB server, so that the password for the username account can be entered.
  4. Click the Connect button.
  5. Enter the desired username and password when prompted:
    Username: username
    Password: The current account password for username

     

  6.  Select the share on your SMB server that you want to use.

     

    WARNING: Do not try to mount the same share twice using different usernames.
    One way you can verify that you’re actually connected using different usernames is to use the mount command in Terminal.
    This should show all mounted volumes on the Mac, including mounted fileshares. The fileshare mount information should include which account was used to mount the share.
