Secondary NetLink IDs
Logins and passphrases
Secondary NetLink IDs are being phased out in response to both internal and external audits. The university's IT Governance committee approved a motion that no new enterprise information systems will support secondary NetLink IDs.
There are replacement services for many common secondary NetLink IDs use cases:
- Primary NetLink IDs for affiliates
- Role-based email addresses
- Conference wireless network accounts
- Cascade Web Content Management
- Online Academic Community
If none of these solutions meet your needs for a secondary NetLink ID, please contact the Computer Help Desk for assistance.
