Single Sign On (Nikhef Identity Management NikIdM)

For the following services you can change your NikIdM password here:

• Nikhef mail services
• Almost all Linux systems (some older ones do not use the single-sign-on password)
• MS Windows (your Windows password will be synchronized only if it is the same as your single-sign-on password)
• SURFfederatie (mailfilter, surfspot, etc)
• EduRoam Wireless LAN authenticatie
• TOPdesk Self Service Desk

Linux

For the following services you have to login into a Linux system and issue the passwd command to change your password:

• Linux account on 'older' Linux installations

You can verify if your Linux system is 'old' by issuing the passwd command. It will either prompt for a new password (old) or telling you that your system uses LDAP authentication (new).

MS Windows

In case you prefer different passwords for your single-sign-on account and your MS Windows account (but why should you?), you can change your Windows password on your Windows desktop.

Miscellaneous

The following applications have a built-in password:

• Urenregistratie.
• Reizen.
• Indico agenda.
