"The Campus NDS Tree and You"
Presented by David Ruby, CCSO Instructional Computing Sites

Many people could use a good authentication system (for giving access to labs, printers, or even files). Wouldn't it be nice if we could all use the same one? CCSO Instructional Computing Sites has worked for a year to build an authentication system based on NDS that can be used by the rest of campus. We will tell our story so far, and show you what it can do for you.
