NIS Retirement in EECS, Dec 2020

February 18, 2020 by Rob McNicholas

To: System Administrators of Unix / Linux devices
Subject: Retirement of IRIS NIS service in EECS

IRIS NIS (Network Information Services)  allows Unix computers to look up IRIS usernames, groups, passwords and other information from IRIS NIS servers.

Dating back to before the creation of IRIS, NIS service has been supported in the EECS Department.   Now, IRIS provides the LDAP protocol as a replacement for NIS. This is now our supported service for distributing Unix username, password and group data. IRIS LDAP service features  multiple redundant servers, and is updated in real-time with user account data.

New IRIS website launched

April 24, 2019 by Lars Rohrbach

Welcome to our new version of iris.eecs!

We hope to provide a more modern experience, with a site that is newly-designed, responsive, and readily-available, even during times of local network disruption.

Information, announcements, and FAQ pages have been migrated to this new site. You should still be able to find our forms and info in similar places. Some forms (e.g. account requests, and system registrations) will continue to be handled by local servers, using the same familiar interface.

Over time, we will be updating content, and handling any formatting that didn’t get migrated properly. If you happen to notice any glaring omissions or problems, please feel free to report them to help@eecs.

We hope you enjoy the new iris.eecs!
