NACElink (the Tunnel)
Access
The Tunnel is available to all faculty, staff, students, and alumni via https://shibboleth-carleton.symplicity.com/sso/
Provisioning
This is a manual process. The attached nace_export.pl script relies on a slapcat dump of LDAP and then parses the results for a student, facstaff, and alumni import/updates. Brad Kmoch has admin rights in NACElink to perform this import.
JAMS (Advocate)
Access
JAMS is available at http://go.carleton.edu/jams . Dave Flynn has Administrator rights.
Provisioning
A series of scripts on Atlantis (/home/jams/update_jams.sh run nightly as root by /etc/crontab) updates the following
- students accounts
- student photos
- a list of campus buildings
Staff accounts must be created manually. JAMS uses advanceids passed by Shibboleth as the primary key, so when creating an account use that in the username field.
Support
JAMS Support is provided by the vendor. New support cases are opened by emailing the following address:
