#### Getting Started: Faculty, Staff and Students 
  


**Introduction**   Computer Centre IIT Bombay provides various IT services and facilities to Students, Staff, and Faculty Members. sThe services include Email, Web Browsing, File Storage, High-performance computing (HPC), VPN, etc. Most of the services are based on your 



**LDAP-ID and password**. _It is suggested to use these facilities responsibly for your and IITB's security._     
The following information will be useful to you for accessing LDAP login and password:     



**LDAP Details** 
  * Your initial password is your date of birth in DDMMYYYY format. For example if your birth-date is January 30, 1996 your password will be 30011996.   * If for some reason your initial password does not work, your Department Sysad will help you fix it. 



**Change your initial LDAP password:**   It is mandatory to change your initial LDAP password. To change your initial LDAP password, kindly visit the following URLs and log in with your initial credentials, and then you will get an option to change the password.     
<http://camp.iitb.ac.in/cgi-bin/index.cgi> _(if you are on campus internet)_   <https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/camp/> _(from the internet)_ 



**Read and Accept IT Access Policy:**   The next step is to carefully read the IT services usage policy before accepting/rejecting it. If you choose to REJECT or VIOLATED the policy, you will be BARRED from all LDAP/SSO-based services. Please visit the following URL to accept/reject the IT policy.   <https://www.cc.iitb.ac.in/page/itaccesspolicy> 



**Registration for Two Factor Authentication for SSO login(2FA):**   Two Factor Authentication is mandatory for all Single Sign-on (SSO) based services. To avoid getting locked/barred from the SSO-based services, it is recommended to register for at least 2 methods of 2FA. 
  

  1. **Time-based OTP (TOTP)** Kindly refer to the following video tutorial for TOTP registration. TOTP doesn�t require GSM/CDMA/Internet connectivity to get an OTP. The only requirement is the correct date and time. So before following the following steps, please make sure the data and time of your Smartphone is correct and the automatic date time setting is enabled.

  2. **SMS-based OTP** You can register your mobile number for SMS-based OTP. This service is mainly for recovery purposes. Whenever you don�t have any access to Time-based OTP (Google / Microsoft Authenticator apps) because of any reason like a lost phone/hardware failure etc., SMS-based OTP can be used to de-register your device. Please note that you will get only 30 SMS-based OTP per month. Kindly refer to the following URL for step-by-step instructions.

**Updating LDAP DEtails**   After registration, it is recommended that you visit<http://camp.iitb.ac.in/cgi-bin/index.cgi> and do the following: 
  * Important: Change your password _regularly ay every six months_   * Choose a new LDAP ID after a month of your registration. You will be able to send/receive mails at **LDAP_ID[at]iitb.ac.in**. You can change your ID only _once_   * If you forget your LDAP password then contact your respective Department Sysad 



**Web Browsing and Email Account Access** 
  1. A detailed procedure for connecting to IITB network is mentioned below.      * Using [Wired Network](/page/n-wired)     * Using [Wireless](/page/n-wireless)   2. For browsing non-IITB websites you need to setup your Proxy:      * In the network options of your web browser you need to provide the follwing path in Auto Configuration field: **"[autoproxy.pac](/attachments/netmon/autoproxy.pac "Auto Proxy Configuration")"**(recommended method)     * Alternatively, you could either configure proxy manually - **netmon.iitb.ac.in on port 80**. Do NOT use Proxy for internal sites **(*.iitb.ac.in, 10.0.0.0/8)**. The syntax may be different in different browsers.     * Now try to access any external site and you will be prompted by netmon.iitb.ac.in to enter your LDAP-ID and password.
