Logging in using a shared computer?
"Shibboleth" is a technology that allows access to many resources with a single login. While this is helpful on personal systems, this method poses a risk for users of shared computers where stored login credentials may be inappropriately used. To protect from this risk, when using a shared computer you should ensure that "Private Browsing" is turned on within the web browser. In addition, from a shared computer you should always close ALL browser windows and tabs when you are finished.
Instructions for configuring Private Browsing:
Internet Explorer - Click the Tools menu and select InPrivate Browsing.
Firefox on Windows - Click the Firefox or Tools menu and select Start Private Browsing.
Firefox on Mac - Click the Tools menu and select Start Private Browsing.
Safari - Click the Safari menu and select Private Browsing.
