Introduction:

PRESENT STATE (to Wednesday, May 29, 2013):

The passwords are now stored in several systems on faculties and/or on Computer and Information Centre (VIC). Different applications use different password sources.

FINAL STATE (at the latest from January 1, 2014):

The base of new conception is system Kerberos which is used as source of passwords for all CTU users. Almost all major university and faculty IT systems will use this password for login. User will need only one password.

TRANSITION PERIOD (from Thursday, May 16, 2013 to Wednesday, May 29, 2013):

All users HAVE TO set their new CTU password “HESLO ČVUT”.

You can set your new password in SSU (usermap) system. Log in on webpage usermap.cvut.cz  For log in use your current password using for login to KOS, FIS or other university systems. Click up right above on your name. Your personal information will appear on the next page. Click on the tab "Settings" and in paragraph named “Access rights” to "User password settings (CTU password)". Enter the current password and then two times new password for the Kerberos and press "Save" button. If you are not successful in setting your password, contact administrators.

This password will be effective for university systems and for systems of Faculty of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Faculty of Transportation Sciences immediately. There will be gradual implementation of this password for systems in other faculties. Pay attention to web sites of your faculty.

ATENTION! The Mobilitypassword used for login to Eduroam network is a password with low security level and it has to be different from the password of CTU “HESLO CVUT”.

For more information about faculty IT systems please refer to web pages of faculty.

In case of login problems please contact your password administrator.

Thank you for your cooperation. We apologise for any inconvenience.
