When you mix multiple back-end technologies, advanced middleware and the right scripting languages together,you get MyAcocunt.
RIS MyAccount is a suite of management tools that gives our users the power to safely and easily administrate their computer accounts at UHN Research. Behind the smooth and user-friendly interface is a plethora of technologies working in perfect harmony, including (but not limited to): An Oracle Database Management System, Sun Solaris, automatic daemons and cron jobs, PHP and C++ programs.
Streamline information reception.
With a research community as large as that of UHN, information is often presented from so many sources that messages important to some researchers will be burried by other messages in their inboxes. For this reason, researchers are able to subscribe and unsubscribe from our announcement lists, seperated by categories such as site, group, or division.
Piece of Mind.
The RIS network is flexible enough to accomodate researchers on PCs, Macs, Sunrays and much more. There are so many choices that changing one's password can be a difficult encounter. MyAccount strips this difficulty, incorporating the 'change once, change everywhere' approach. With a simple change and a 5 minute grace period, MyAccount handles password change requests with ease.
Let your mailbox do the work while you relaxe.
Going on vacation? MyAccount makes setting up vacation messages a snap. Once the customized vacation messages are activated, email sent to the user is automatically replied to stating the message the user has left in place. Deactivating vacation messages are also a click away; it's just that easy.
