About
Clinical Faculty account registration is similar to early email for students in which a token is provided to clinical faculty in order to activate their electronic services to the university.
This differs from faculty and staff in the sense that Tufts does not automatically provision Tufts Usernames (utln) and Email accounts for clinical faculty and students.
Process
- Office of Faculty Affairs creates an identity in the Medical School Clinical Faculty Database (MSCF) for an individual that will receive a clinical affiliation.
- As a system of record, the MSCF will then pass that identity along to the Person Registry (PR) during nightly feeds
- Once in PR, it is checked against other identities at the university and it is either joined to an existing identity (requires administrator intervention) or it is given its own identity and proceeds to ATAMS (90 minutes)
- ATAMS passes this identity on to the Enterprise Directory (LDAP) and this is the state of the account:
- There is no UTLN
- If a mail alias is automatically reservable, one is. If there is a conflict with the first.last@tufts.edu mail alias, then administrator intervention may be needed through TuftsTools to reserve a custom alias.
- A 12 digit token is present in the account
- Once a utln and password are set, the token expires. There is NO expiration on the token otherwise.
- OFA Sends communication to the individual encouraging them to go to their TMOS application and click register, ultimately this takes the inidividual to http://tuftstools.tufts.edu/cgi-bin/mscf to begin the registration process.
