Hello,

Here is the root page for accessing to the Sandbucket workstation.

If you are member of the Ishtar project, you may subscribe to the email list  "ishtar-sb@inrets.fr"
by sending an email to mailto:sympa@inrets.fr with subject:  subscribe ishtar-sb
and you will receive passwords and account to access the server

Now, could you please check for your "connectivity".
(As usualy remind that there is no "riskless" or "low-risk" when sharing a devlopement, check your backup for any useful part of your computer before continuing this test)

You may access SandBucket workstation (as a  vnc server) by one of the following ways

Java (Internet Explorer) client  By Java Client
 installing a VNC Client
RealVNC home page
 using MSWindows executable client (without installation)

executing the VNC Viewer from Internet


 as target address, give the string:  81.57.148.97 

At this time (since you are'nt registered) the "GOOD" completion is the popup window asking for a password, no more.
 
Please, report success or any difficulty to mailto:flavigny@inrets.fr  or to mailto:ishtar-sb@inrets.fr

Access to VNC server

Remind that your exchanges may be wathched and logged.
Try to connect as mentioned above
- if VNCserver is running, you will be prompted for VNC password, modify option to "shared" and go
- during  housekeeping, I will shutdown the server and you will not be prompted for password
- during "private booked" session, the password is changed and you will not succeed.
I will try to keep up-to-date the planning visible in the array at the bottom of this page.

Policy for time-sharing of sandbucket workstation

If you discover any hole in the security, report it quickly.

You are invited to try any user's mistake but to respect the (unprotected) rules listed below :
- don't try to login as administrator (or another account than your own)
- when you don't have an appointment, use a "shared" connexion to avoid to disconnect a previous user
- sign your presence, waiting for adequate tool, begin by opening with notepad a file named "your_name-wpx.txt" and reduce it  on the task bar.
- if you change screen resolution [break the link, you need, quickly, a new connection], please restore to 800x600 before leaving
- if you enter wathching in a preexisting window, please don't disturb
- when you finish, close your session. If needed you may "restart the computer", never "shutdown" the computer.
- Ask before modifying settings for VNC server.
- EXPERIMENTAL: when your W2K session is started, you may modify the VNC password so that no new user
   will be able to connect to Sandbucket.
    (Of course, for your next visit you have to use the password received, since your session is closed)

Policy for Windows 2000
- Please change your win2k password to a personnal string.
   (when session is open, send "ctrl+alt+del" and on the login screen choose "changer de mot de passe"
- If you have received accounts with different rights, work with restricted rights as long as you don't need to proceed to an installation.
- Try the software installed with restricted account.

Uploading and downloading files on Sandbucket

The firewall forbid direct communications with internet, when you need to exchange file, please,
send an email to  mailto:ishtar-int@inrets.fr
- for upload, attach ONE zipped file; you will find a copy on the desktop in folder "Mes Documents"
- for download, prepare a zip file and give me the fully qualified name.
(later, we will pass through our ftp server)
