New Confluence/JIRA Login Procedures

Note: On 02/13/2011, SLAC will switch to a new system for logging in to Confluence and JIRA. In the meantime, it is recommended that you go to "confluence-new" and login. (Note that this is simply a test site that only contains a snapshot from several months ago, but uses the new login system.)

Under the new system:

• Users with either a SLAC windows or SLAC unix account will be able to use the same account(s) and password(s) to access Confluence and JIRA.

Note: Users who have a SLAC windows or unix account must switch to using their SLAC account password. If you have both windows and unix accounts, you can use either password.

• Existing Confluence/JIRA users who do not have a SLAC windows or unix account will be able to continue to login with their current Confluence/JIRA account.

• Future new users who do not have and do not plan to get a SLAC unix or windows account, but who wish to sign up for a confluence/jira "external" account can do so http://jira.slac.stanford.edu/signup/ beginning on 02/14/2011.

Note: In keeping with SLAC's policy on passwords, a password change every six months will be enforced for all accounts.

Frequently asked questions

How do I sign up for a new Confluence/JIRA account?

• If you have an existing SLAC unix or windows account but do not have a Confluence/JIRA account, you can use either of your existing account login(s) to access the public parts of Confluence/JIRA.

Note: To request permission to update group spaces, or to access protected spaces, please email confluence-admin@slac.stanford.edu, and specify which section of Confluence/JIRA you need access to.

• If you do not have a SLAC unix or windows account but plan to get one, we recommend you go ahead and get a SLAC account before trying to access Confluence or JIRA. (See Setting up SLAC Accounts.)
