Mathematica License Server Update

by

The Berkeley campus has a site license for Mathematica. We strongly encourage Mathematica users to visit the Campus Software Central website for information on obtaining a current version of Mathematica and license.

Mathematica licensing on our own EECS license server will expire November 30, 2014. If you have been using an older version of Matlab with our license server, you can update your licensing configuration to point to the new campus license server. See the IRIS Mathematica FAQ Page for details.

Scheduled Maintenance for Wireless Authentication Services

by

On Wednesday, November 26th at 4-5PM we will be installing updated TLS certificates on our primary wireless authentication (RADIUS) server and on the EECS-Guest web authentication portal. Due system redundancy, no outages are expected, except for a possible brief interruption in EECS-Guest authentication. Existing connections will not be lost, but there may be a short period in which users cannot initiate new connections to EECS-Guest. In this event, we recommend the use of CalVisitor until EECS-Guest is responding again.

Mailing List & Jabber Downtime, Monday 6pm

by

The Department’s database server will be patched and rebooted Monday, November 17th at 6pm. Total downtime is expected to be less than 15 minutes. Applications that depend on this database will be down during this time. This includes our Jabber/XMPP server, jabber.eecs.berkeley.edu and our mailing list server, lists.eecs.berkeley.edu.

Mail sent to lists.eecs during this time will be held for later delivery. Delivery will be delayed but no mail will be lost.

Scheduled Maintenance for Wireless Authentication Server

by

On Wednesday, November 5 at 1PM, we will be performing scheduled maintenance on the primary wireless authentication (aka RADIUS) server, etips1.eecs. The maintenance window is scheduled to end at 2PM.

EECS-Secure will not be affected during the maintenance, as the secondary server will be available to process authentication requests. However, the secondary server is currently unable to process requests for EECS-Guest, and as a result EECS-Guest will NOT be accepting new connections. Existing sessions should not be disconnected, but any new EECS-Guest sessions will fail to authenticate during the maintenance. We recommend that visitors use CalVisitor as a workaround during this time.

Please direct any questions, comments, or concerns to help@eecs.berkeley.edu.

eduroam now available in EECS

by

The eduroam wireless network is now available in EECS. eduroam is a worldwide wireless network which is shared across many participating institutions. Visitors from other institutions will be able to log on to eduroam while at Berkeley, and anyone from Berkeley who is visiting another institution can log into eduroam using their AirBears 2 key.

For more details on eduroam, please see Berkeley IST���s eduroam information page at http://ist.berkeley.edu/airbears#eduroam or the eduroam website at eduroam.org.

For a general overview of campus-provided wireless offerings (not including EECS networks), please see https://kb.berkeley.edu/page.php?id=27815

If you have any questions, concerns, or issues with eduroam, please send a message to help@eecs.berkeley.edu.

Thanks,
