Department Intranet
Who can access intranet.math.arizona.edu:
-
This server can be accessed only from inside the math department
(and from elsewhere, if you use our
dial-up service or one of
our proxies).
-
Otherwise, you'll get this message.
-
However, be aware that the security level is minimal:
it is based entirely on the
client's IP address. For example, our students using department-owned computers
in M101/M102 can reach these intranet pages.
On the other hand, internet search
engines (like google.com) can not reach these pages.
How to publish pages on intranet.math.arizona.edu:
-
Just put your files in a folder called pub_http_intranet
in your puma/gila account home directory.
-
The URL for your intranet website is:
http://intranet.math.arizona.edu/~youraccountname/.
Purpose of intranet.math.arizona.edu:
To give various groups and individuals
in the department a means of publishing "internal" information.
Some examples follow.
-
Sensitive documentation on our computer infrastructure is published
at http://intranet.math.arizona.edu/~system/.
-
Research groups can maintain both public pages on
http://math.arizona.edu/
and internal pages here on intranet.math.arizona.edu.
The public pages might contain finished
research documents, a list of group members, perhaps some photos. The intranet
pages might contain works-in-progress, home contact information, and
perhaps a photo of the research group at a social activity.
-
An individual could link from their public page to their intranet page,
publishing home contact information on the intranet page. This gives other
members of the department a means of contacting you but does not expose your
private information on a public page. In particular, your private information
won't be exposed to search engines (like google.com).
-
Various departmental committees and staff groups might publish
information that is considered internal to the department.
-
Be creative. This is a resource for you to use or ignore as you see fit.
Possible future enhancements:
-
If the need arises, and we have the resources,
we will consider adding an internal search engine for these intranet pages.
-
If the need arises,
we might maintain a directory of people/groups publishing information here.
(But we expect most people will find their way to pages here via links from the
public website.)
