Introduction
Current Issue:
- The single sign-on (SSO) system uses the same username and password for all services, leading to security vulnerabilities.
- The development and maintenance of the homepages for faculty members is delayed.
- The current hosting space allocation is inadequate for various user groups, especially project staff.
Need for Improvement:
- Separate login credentials for increased security.
- Easy development and maintenance of the homepage.
- Increased storage quotas for better research support and collaboration.
Separate Login
Current Issue:
The single sign-on system uses the same username and password for all services, posing security concerns.
Proposed Solution:
Implement separate passwords for different services while retaining the same username structure.
Benefits:
- Enhanced Security: Differentiated passwords improve account protection.
- Improved User Experience: Streamlined access for faculty and students.
- Easy maintenance: Easy development and maintenance of the homepage
Space Quota Increase
Current Allocations:
- Academic Staff: 250 MB
- Students: 50 MB
- Project Staff: Not available
Suggested Updates:
- Academic Staff: Increased to 1 GB
- Institute Post Doctoral Fellows: Introducing a new 500 MB quota
- Students: Increased to 250 MB
- Project Employees: Introducing a new 50 MB quota (On a payment basis, case by case – on recommendation by Project PI)
Benefits:
- Enhanced space for academic work, research, and collaboration.
- Adequate resources for the Institute Post Doctoral Fellows staff and their documentation.
