Message 1: Creating accounts in Oracle and MySQL


Dear CSE 3330/5330 students:
It seems that each of you will have to request n account individually for Oracle and MySQL from helpdesk@uta.edu. When I requested the accounts for the classes, I got the following reply:

Dear Ramez,

Unfortunately, due to security purposes, we are unable to activate Oracle and Sql accounts for your classes:
CSE3330
CSE4331
CSE5330
CSE5331
In order to activate a Oracle or SQL account the request would need to come from the individual student - we then in turn, would send them instructions on how to access Oracle/ SQL as well as their initial password from their student account to either their Mavs email address or email address we have on file.
The Omega/Gamma account is already activated on the students accounts their current NetID and password is also valid for these two accounts. (For forgotten NetID passwords, go to http://www.uta.edu/selfservice). They will need to use SSH (Secure Shell) to be able to login to the servers.
How to connect to OMEGA/GAMMA:

Thank you.
