Single Sign-on (SSO) Service The Computer Centre has released services based on Single Sign-on based authentication. CC's SSO supports Oauth2, OpenID Connect, and SAML2 based authorization. This will enable us to make our authentication process more robust, secure, and universal for all applications across IITB. 



Why is it necessary?  SSO with OAuth/SAML/OpenID is very secure compared to LDAP since it offers multi-factor authentication and a fully encrypted protocol. It also has a single point of trust for the end-user, so even if one application is compromised, the security of your application is not threatened. These protocols are very widely deployed by all major companies, including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple. Nowadays It is an internet standard. 



In today's IT-driven world, multi-factor authentication is very much necessary. This will considerably slow down hacking activities because of compromised LDAP accounts and eventually help end-users and system administrators since most of these accounts get compromised because of simple credentials, sharing of credentials with colleagues, sharing of credentials to a malicious site, or response to a phishing email. 



How do I use SSO based authentication for the application I am developing?   Anyone who wants to use SSO for the authentication, The application needs to register with CC. For more detailed information, kindly download this documentation. 



What is 2-Factor Authentication, and why is it mandatory? Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security to your online accounts. Verifying your identity using a second factor (like your phone or another mobile device) prevents anyone but you from logging in, even if they know your password. Once you've enrolled in Google/Microsoft authenticator app or SMS based OTP, you're ready to go: You'll login as usual with your username and password, and then use your device to verify that it's you. 



Supported methods for 2-Factor authentication Two-Factor Authentication for CC's SSO Login is designed to work with your existing devices and network connections. We support the following devices/methods: 
  * Time-based OTP – based on FREE apps like Google/Microsoft authenticator   * SMS text messages via a cell phone (Only for Faculty and Institute staff members)   * Passwordless authentication using IITB SSO app (For Android and iOS platform.)   * Security key / Hardware token-based (Key/token must support WebAuthn standard and FIDO2 compliant.)   * Touch ID (For mac users) based or Windows Hello based. 
The Mobile apps are free and downloadable from your cell phone's app store (e.g., iTunes or Google Play). Standard data or phone charges may apply when using, SMS text, and/or passwordless authentication. To obtain a hardware token/key for your account, users are free to purchase on their own. Please make sure the token/key is compatible with FIDO2 standards.

An email will be sent to the Webmail inbox of the faculty, containing the user-id and password of the new account. The password cannot be changed by the faculty or the guest.  
The user ID and password has to be used for authentication while connecting to the wireless network, as well as to connect to the internet using the wired network. 



#### Home Account Creation 
Faculty and Staff at IIT Bombay, who agree to the IITB IT Usage policy, can create a special user account for their family members to access the internet through the IITB Network. 
Please visit [camp.iitb.ac.in](https://camp.iitb.ac.in/) and login to LDAP to create the account. 
Procedure for creating a home account 
  1. Please enter the LDAP credentials in the new window after clicking the above link.   2. Please select a suitable addition (only faculty and staff will be able to add)      * Add a New home Account   3. Fill in the details, and choose an appropriate password for the home account.   4. The login-id for the newly created home account will be **"[Your LDAP ID].home"**. For eg: If your ldap id is **abcdef** then your home account id will be **abcdef.home**   5. An email will be sent to your inbox ( **"ldapid[at]iitb.ac.in"** ), containing the user-id and password of the new account.  
Family members of faculty and staff have to use **Home ID** and **password** for authentication while connecting to the wireless network, as well as to connect to the internet using the wired network. 



#### Mail Facilities 
#####  Features of the WEBMAIL services at IITB  ![](/assets/icons/Plus.svg) 
This service enables you to access your mailbox from anywhere (inside or outside IITB) via the Internet. The current access is via SQUIRRELMAIL software with some local modifications. The interface may be changed or additional ones may be supported in future subject to resource constraints at CC. The details for different user categories are shown below: 
User Category| URL| Mailbox Size Limit   ---|---|---     
User Category 
| 
URL 
| 
Mailbox Size Limit     
---|---|---   All | <https://webmail-sso.iitb.ac.in>   <https://webmail.iitb.ac.in> | {Specific to user role (student,faculty etc) }     
The mailbox space limit shown above may change either way depending on resource availability. Your current diskspace occupation level is always displayed when you login. Please take care to purge unwanted messages from time to time. The actual disk space usage will depend on the type of messages you exchange but a thumb rule would be not to exceed the occupation level of 75% so that your incoming mails are not interrupted. Please note that currently no facility exists at CC to take backups of users' mailboxes. This means that the mails deleted will not be possible to recover. Users may please make alternate arrangements to keep backups of their important messages. 
Printing of emails is not supported. However, the mails can be downloaded to your local PC for printing elsewhere. 
The webmail service provides the choice of either normal HTTP logins or secure logins by using SSL. It uses the same password as the netmon proxy authentication password. It may so happen that those of you who get locked out (for whatever reasons) at netmon proxy may also face problems in email too. 
For those who do not use netmon proxy, a separate password would have to be assigned. Eventually all users in IITB will be automatically registered in the LDAP database even if they do not use the NETMON PROXY services for web browsing. 
Within IITB campus the service can also be accessed via NETSCAPE, Kmail, Pine, Evolution, OUTLOOK EXPRESS etc using IMAP. Support for IMAP over SSL has been added recently. However, it may be noted that IMAP based services are not available from outside IITB. 
Hope you find this service useful to you. In case you face any problems please register your issue at [help-cc.iitb.ac.in](https://help-cc.iitb.ac.in). 



#####  SPAM Protection  ![](/assets/icons/Plus.svg) 
**SPF (Sender Policy Framework): What is this about ???** 
Mails arriving from a domain (e.g. sony.com) are checked to verify to see if they really originated from that domain. Under the SPF scheme, each domain enumerates the IP addresses though which all mails from that domain will be injected into the Internet. When the mails arrive at our mail relays, the arriving IPs are checked against the domain-designated IPs thus verifying its authenticity. 
SPF deployment now a preferred way of handling incoming Emails. The deployment of this scheme have ensured very low-level of SPAM because many SPAMMERs use fictitious IP email addresses. However, like many other schemes in Internet, this is voluntary. Accordingly, emails originating from domains that have not yet adopted SPF are still being accepted at IITB. However, there are many domains who claim to support SPF but have done partial/faulty implementations. In such cases, there is a small chance that an email may not be accepted into IITB network because the originating site has an improper implementation of SPF. 
For more info on SPF, please [click here](http://www.openspf.org/) 



#####  FAQ Web based central email service  ![](/assets/icons/Plus.svg) 
**Q. When I send mail to username[at]webmail.iitb.ac.in (username represents my friend's userid) they dont reach. What is wrong ?** 
The webmail service of IITB is available at <https://webmail-sso.iitb.ac.in> and <https://webmail.iitb.ac.in>. However, it is not a legal email address. The correct email address of your friend is username[at]iitb.ac.in. 



**Q. How do I setup pine to read my webmail mails ?** 
To set up pine to use central MAILBOXes at imap.iitb.ac.in as your mail repository do the following : 
  1. Go to setup->configure   2. set smtp server as **smtp-auth.iitb.ac.in/tls/user=xxx (xxx is your LDAP id)**   3. **inbox-path: {imap.iitb.ac.in/ssl/novalidate-cert}**   4. now exit setup.   5. Now you should be able to access the Webmail mailboxes, make folders on webmail IMAP server etc. 
If you are using Webmail mailboxes from any computer, all the outgoing emails would have the ID as yourloginname[at]iitb.ac.in. For example, if you set the pine at venus.che.iitb.ac.in to check your mails at webmail and you have login-name 'hemantrm' on venus.che but the login-name 'hemant' at Webmail, then all the mails would go as hemantrm[at]iitb.ac.in. 
To change this do the following:-pine -> Setup -> Config -> Customized headers (it's somewhere at the end). 
There, press enter and write the following - 
From: your-username-at-webmail[at]iitb.ac.in 
and save and exit pine. Now all the mails would go as hemant[at]iitb.ac.in even if I have login-name hemantrm at the server from where the pine is configured to check mails at Webmail. 



**Q. How much is the allotted mail storage quota?** 
The server space that has been allotted as of now is as follows:-   Students - 1000MB. 



**Q. How do I configure outlook express, eudora, kmail or evolution mail for my MAILBOX on centralized EMAIL servers ?** 
These EMAIL AGENTs require two key configurations: 
(a) Access to mails received: The mails received for you are located on the centralized IMAP server of IIT Bombay named **imap.iitb.ac.in**. 
(b) Server which will accept your outgoing mails: Use **smtp- auth.iitb.ac.in**. Please enable AUTHENTICATION and TLS. You would require LDAP id and password to send mail via this server. For more information click [here](/page/configurewebmail). 



**Q. Why do I receive warning mails regarding virus mails in the attachments from mail server even if I have not sent that mail?** 
It is very easy to fake 'From' address in an email. If the mail server finds any infected attachement in the mail, it sends the warning to the 'From' address. In many cases the infected machine which is sending such fake mails might use your mail address in the 'From' field. Hence YOU will get a warning from the mail server regarding the infected mail. 



#####  FAQs Spam Mail  ![](/assets/icons/Plus.svg) 
**Q. What is SPAM?** 
Spam is a type of email. Spam usually takes the form of advertising or promotional material that arrives in your emailbox without you having requested it. 



**Q. What can you do if you receive SPAM?** 
You can filter the SPAM mail to a seperate folder based on the subject header. You can also choose to delete the mail with the subject 'SPAM' in it. However, sometimes a 'good' mail also gets marked as SPAM. So it may be a good idea to filter it in a seperate folder and then delete it selectively. 



**Q. How to filter SPAM mails?** 
The program that you use to read your mail is known as a mail user agent (MUA). There are options available with all the MUA's (ex:- pine, mutt) to set filters. You need to use these options to set up filter which will filter the mail based on the 'subject' in the email. The SPAM mails will have the word SPAM in the subject. If you are using Pine to read your mail the procedure is specified in the next answer. 



Q. How to filter SPAM mails with Pine. In Pine go to setup. Then press R for Rules, It will ask a question "Type of rule setup :" Choose F for Filters. Then press A to add the rule. Go to subject pattern. Press A to add the value. Set Subject pattern to SPAM. Then go to Filter Action and specify the folder name where you want the SPAM mail to go. Then press E to exit setup. Press Y to commit changes. 



Q. How to filter SPAM mails under Webmail ? The steps to filter SPAM into a separate folder are :   Log into Webmail. Create a separate folder. (For sake of illustration, let us call it SPAMfolder.) Click on the link "Options".Once you are in the Options page, choose "Message Filters".Inside the Message Filters menu, one can create a new filter withspecifications as below:     1. Match on "Subject"   2. Choose Subject Line to contain *****SPAM****   3. Choose a folder where the SPAM will be moved (i.e. "Move to folder")   4. Save the filter just created. After this, all SPAM will go into the selected "SPAMfolder". SPAM mails will be auto-deleted if Trash is chosen as the "Move To" folder (i.e. Trash instead of SPAMfolder).

Netmon FAQ's   
Q. What is Netmon IP Blocking? To protect our netmon proxy from bombarding from various portions of our network, we have implemented a scheme in which the IP address remains blocked for 2 hours, once found bombarding netmon proxy. After end of 2 hours, if it is still found bombarding, then it is again blocked for 2 hours and this continues recursively. 



Q. Is my IP blocked at the Router? First you need to find out whether your IP is blocked at the router or there is some local problem. If you can ping other computers in your hostel but you cannot ping/telnet/ssh to your department server or other machine outside your router then your machine IP is blocked at the router. Else there is some local problem. 



Q. What can I do if my IP is blocked at the router? Contact your hostel sysad/comp secy to solve the problem. This may be due to no mac entry of your lan card in router or some physical cable/jack problem. If you temprorarily need to access department, you can use your hostel computer room.

Q. Is my IP blocked at Netmon? Check if other local services such as DNS, Webmail, internal WEB ACCESS, etc are working fine, but Internet is not working. If you are getting authentication window for Netmon proxy server and still not able to access internet then you must have forgotten your password on Netmon proxy server. You are requested to contact sysad/compi secy and get your password reset. If you are not getting prompt for authentication, please check your proxy settings in the browser properly. If they are also correct then check whether your IP is really listed in blocked IP's [here](https://camp.iitb.ac.in/cgi- bin/blockip.cgi) 



Q. What can be a cause for my IP getting blocked? There can be several reasons for IP getting blocked.Your computer must be bombarding netmon with invalid requests. This is usually due to ad-wares or may be due to some software trying to update itself without proper proxy settings. This can also be due to virus infected computer.You can also install a personal firewall which will keep track of all incoming and outgoing requests. Most popular of which is ZoneAlarm.People have to fix their problems *on their own*. Just trace out and resolve it as soon as possible. Unblocking automatically happens only after 2 hours of blocking period, but as said earlier, if it is still found bombarding then it is again blocked for 2 hours and this continues recursively.
