Acadaix Global Support                        

Acadaix is a Unix Test server that is primarily used by students enrolled in a Unix based course. ITS is only responsible for resolving student's login problems. Any questions about UNIX should be answered by their instructors.

Acadaix runs on the server: acadaix.algonquincollege.com
(Unix Teaching Server)

Unix based courses are flagged by Genesis. The corresponding class list is sent to ITS who creates accounts for all students within the flagged course. If students registered late, then acadaix account creation are delayed. Students inquiring about account creations should contact their instructors or the ITS Help Desk.

Within the College:
1 - Start > Run > type "telnet acadaix"

Figure 1

2 -  At the Acadaix window (Figure 2), enter username and password.
Username:  NT username (abcd0001)
Password:  PIN #

For Remote connection:
1 - Connect to Algonquin  (Dialup, VPN)
2 - Start / Run / type "telnet acadaix.algonquincollege.com"
3 - Enter your user name and password i.e. USER NAME: abcd0000, PIN: yA1312312
 

Login problems are usually due to one of the following:
1. Account not created
2. Incorrect syntax
3. Incorrect username/password
4. Server down

1. Confirm that student is enrolled in a Unix based course.
      If student registered late for the course, then account creation is delayed.
      Contact Jozef for account status.

2. Correct syntax is as follows:
In the College:
telnet acadaix
username: abcd0001
password: pin

At home (Client must be connected to Algonquin network through VPN, or Dial Up):
telnet acadaix.algonquincollege.com
username: abcd0001
password:  pin

3. Incorrect username/password:
Students login to Acadaix originally with their student username and pin number. Students may change their acadaix password using the “passwd” command. If they have done this and cannot remember the new password, ITS can reset it for them. (See Password Resets)
