Passwords
Password assignment
July 28, 2017: Harvard requested two logins per institution as a first pass, just so that a manageable request would go into OCLC such that we could be assured of quick turnaround on the initial 30 logins. We’ll be back in touch with them shortly to supplement logins for institutions that will have many practitioners involved in the pilot.
Note that ISNI has not required or in our experience so far provided individualized logins. At Harvard, we have assigned individuals to specific logins so that we could troubleshoot any issues with ISNI activity while using the WinIBW client, but otherwise, sharing logins seems not to be a problem, other than potentially conflated searching histories.
Changing passwords
July 24, 2017: At this time it is possible to change passwords in the WinIBW client only, it is not possible to change passwords in the web interface. Apologies for the confusion.
The initial passwords given to us by OCLC are the same for each user for PRODUCTION (live) and for ACCEPT (test). However, changing the password in one doesn't automatically change it in the other.
- Launch the web interface.
- Connect to the ISNI ACCEPT system: ISNI web links (restricted access).
- Log in.
- Once logged in, type edit password on the command line, then follow prompts to change the password.
- Write down new password.
- Repeat steps 2-5 on the ISNI PRODUCTION system: ISNI web links (restricted access).
The instructions say that the password must be 0-16 characters long and can only contain characters a-z, A-Z, 0-9.
