First Login

PASSWORD

CAC has a Password Policy in effect. The first time that you login to the cac.cornell.edu domain, you will be required to change your password. Each password must have at least eight characters and must contain at least three of the following four elements (1) uppercase letters (2) lowercase letters (3) special characters (4) digits. There are more detailed instructions for Linux clusters and Windows clusters.

FILE SERVER

There is one filesystem which is shared by both linux and windows systems:

• Your home directory on linux is: /home/fs01/userid
• Your home directory on windows is: \\storage01.cac.cornell.edu\userid

In Linux, it is generally safe to refer to your home directory as either ~, ~username, or $HOME, so you never need to specify the exact mount point. On CAC's Windows systems, similarly, the letter drive H: is mapped to your home directory; however, it is often preferable to use the full UNC path to the network share, as given above.

LIMITS

Cornell University users can view their account limits at CAC Account Limits. Corporate Program members should contact Paul Redfern at red@cac.cornell.edu if they need information on their membership limits.
