Track 7Authenticated Network Access (ANA)Wednesday, October 31, 2001 David Packham, IT Architecture, University of Utah Jon Peters, Associate Director of Networking, University of Utah The University of Utah, like many peer institutions, has a growing need to support general access network ports and wireless mobile computing applications. With the recent addition of the University Student Village and a need to support smart classrooms allowing mobile computing access, we are currently deploying this design for delivering ubiquitous IP dial tone in a secure manor. This presentation will outline our authenticated network access solution. Working with Cisco and open source software, our design makes use of their VLAN Manager & Policy Server.

Enterprise Systems Management: What Do You Watch When There Is No Mainframe?Tuesday, October 30, 2001 Charles Augustine, Senior Manager, Systems and Data Management Services, Princeton University Daniel J. Oberst, Director, OIT Enterprise Infrastructure Services, Princeton University Despite the acknowledged need, few universities deploy comprehensive enterprise systems management, largely because of software and staff costs. Working through vendor partnerships, Princeton University has been able to successfully build an enterprise systems management infrastructure to augment or replace point and homegrown solutions, providing monitoring, job scheduling, and output management. Facilities for PartnershipsMonday, October 29, 2001 Malcolm B. Brown, Director of ELI, EDUCAUSE Joan K. Lippincott, Associate Executive Director, Coalition for Networked Information Cynthia Pawlek, Associate Librarian, Dartmouth College Many universities are developing new or renovated facilities that combine services delivered by information technologists, librarians, instructional technologists, multimedia producers, and others. As a resource for institutions planning new facilities of this kind, a new Web site sponsored by CNI and Dartmouth College features such projects. This session will provide a taxonomy of types of new facilities and a description of the process of developing a new Dartmouth facility. Federal PKI Initiatives: Building PKI InteroperabilityWednesday, October 31, 2001 David Temoshok, Director, Identity Policy and Management, U.S. General Services Administration The ESIGN Act, GPEA and other enabling legislation have created the legality and mandates for implementing electronic signature in the U.S. There are large implications for the deployment of PKI and digital signature for broad sectors of government and industry. The Federal Government is building the technical and policy infrastructure for PKI interoperability to support common, national digital signature processes for citizens, business, and government. This session will describe the policy and technical framework for PKI through the Federal Bridge Certification Authority (FBCA) and the Federal Access Certificates for Electronic Services (ACES) PKI programs. This session will discuss the implications of these initiatives on the post-secondary community and the relation of these efforts to the Higher Education Bridge Certification Authority and other industry initiatives. Gaining Access to Affordable Broadband Connectivity: Strategies for Connecting to National and Global NetworksMonday, October 29, 2001 J. Gary Augustson, Vice Provost for Information Technology, The Pennsylvania State University Christopher Peabody, Deputy CTO, Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO), District of Columbia Members of Net@EDU, the networking arm of EDUCAUSE, created a working group devoted to analyzing effective strategies for higher education institutions in gaining affordable access to existing and future national networks. Recognizing the growing demand for advanced international Internet access for teaching and learning, the mission of the Net@EDU Broadband Pricing Working Group has evolved to focus on strategies for accessing global networks and how we can share our experiences with our colleagues in other countries. Working group members will report on progress to date and will facilitate a dialogue with the audience on how we should approach this challenge. Implementing Web Content Management Systems: Strategies for SuccessMonday, October 29, 2001 Brian W. Brown, Director - Electronic Student Services, Appalachian State University Content authoring and management systems, whether purchased or homegrown, can promote consistent design, ensure accessibility, and empower non-Web developers to contribute to your institution's integrated Web presence. However, whether you build or buy, success depends on the administration's preparation and management of resources, expectations, and business process issues. Internet Radio: The New PortalTuesday, October 30, 2001 Barbara E. McMullen, Dean of Online Learning, Monroe College As Internet radio expands from a vehicle for music enjoyment to a new, robust form of communications, Marist College is at the forefront by expanding the radio metaphor to include streaming voice, video, slides, text, pictures, visualizations, and community building tools. This emerging audio portal is both personalized and mobile. Killing Insecure FTP and Telnet on CampusMonday, October 29, 2001 Charles Powell, Senior Director, Academic Media & Technology, Yale University Because they transmit passwords in clear text, standard telnet and FTP connections are a security risk on the open, potentially untrustworthy networks that are common with universities. Because these services are familiar and heavily used, inertia hinders the adoption of secure alternatives. We were able to discontinue these insecure services on our core systems and still enable users to function normally. Large-Scale IP Telephony on CampusMonday, October 29, 2001 Paul C. Hardin, Project Communications, Brigham Young University Dave McDonough, Program Manager, Cisco Systems, Inc. Brigham Young University is installing the world's largest IP telephony network in an educational institution. The initial installation of 6,000 phones will allow true convergence of voice, video, and data. Policy, technical, and implementation issues will be discussed. Making Strategic IT Planning Succeed in Decentralized, Consultative Academic CulturesMonday, October 29, 2001 Avi J. Cohen, Dean's Advisor, TEL Initiatives / Prof of Economics, York University Bob Gagne, CIO, York University York University is engaged in an organization-wide IT strategic planning process that balances the university's need for consultative decision making with the need for speed to address 21st-century challenges.
