The IT server is for School of ICT students and staff. Some brief instructions are below. For further information contact your lecturer, or other ICT students and staff.
Note that some pages on this webserver require the use of HTTPS, i.e. secure connection, for use. It uses a self-signed certificate, which means when you first connect your browser may present a warning/error message (about this site cannot be trusted). If you are not willing to trust the self-signed certificate, then please contact a School lecturer or the ICT staff who can verify the certificate.
Your username and password should have been supplied to already. If you don't have it, or have forgot it, then you need to contact your lecturer or the ICT staff.
You can use SSH software on your computer to log in to the IT server. OpenSSH is normally installed by default on Linux and MacOS systems. For Windows you may need to install PuTTY. Both involve using the command-line (in a terminal). For example, with OpenSSH type:
ssh it.siit.tu.ac.th -l USERNAME
where USERNAME is replaced with your supplied username. You will then be prompted for your password.
In some cases you may be asked to change your password, in particular when you first login. You will see a message similar to below:
WARNING: Your password has expired. You must change your password now and login again! Changing password for USERNAME. (current) UNIX password: TYPE_YOUR_OLD_PASSWORD Password: TYPE_YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD Retype new password: TYPE_YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD passwd: password updated successfully Connection to it.siit.tu.ac.th closed.
Type your old and new password where appropriate. The IT server will only allow certain passwords, and will not allow you to re-use your old password.
Once logged in to the IT server you only have access to the command-line interface (CLI). There is no graphical user interface. To receive a basic introduction about the CLI type:
man intro
Or try the Free Software Foundations Introduction to the Command Line - it is free to download!
Users with the sub-directory public_html in their home directory can create their own web site on the IT server. Most files (with the correct permissions) that are in the public_html directory are available via the IT web server at the URL:
https://it.siit.tu.ac.th/~USERNAME/
Some users have access to their own MySQL database. Your username, password and database name should be already supplied to you. To use the database, on the command line execute:
mysql -u USERNAME -p DATABASE
where USERNAME is your supplied username and DATABASE is the name of your database. You will be prompted to supply your MySQL password (which may be different from your IT server password).
Once you have access to the database you can change your password with the MySQL query:
set password = password('YOURNEWPASSWORD');
