The Hebrew University of Jerusalem provides customers with a large number of computer services. Each service group has an authenication method that includes its own user name and password.
Common Methods of Authentication at the University:
Single sign-on (SSO) and One-Time Passwords:
Many computer systems within the university require authentication via SSO. When using SSO it is possible to choose the login type according to your needs and permissions.
Please note that if you have logged into one site, you can log in to any other system in the browser without having to re-authenticate. The permission given is according to the highest permission you deserve if you have logged in properly.
Note there are several ways to connect to various systems at the university. The level of permission varies according to the type of login. As a rule, logging in using a one-time password generator (for those who have one) is the most secure, followed by a login using a one-time password, followed by a two factor password connection to e-mail, followed by other forms of authentication.
One-time passwords
All systems at the university can be connected using a one-time password. Depending on the permissions, some systems even require a one-time password. (VPN, and administrator and financial systems as examples). The one-time password can be obtained in one of 3 ways:
Password generator card (OTP) – This is the strongest authentication method and requires the purchase of a password card generator. It gives more privileges in the various systems including budgets, etc.
Creating a one-time password for RUMBA or other systems via SMS – This is an authentification method for most systems for university members who do not have an OTP card
The Google Authenticator app- This is an alternative to receiving a one-time code in a text message.
Below is a list of systems and the usernames and passwords needed to enter them:
Student and teaching systems: Personal information, Moodle, course registration, the MyHuji app, student software downloading site- you can enter with a university email address (Savion or HujiMail) and the appropriate password.
