BACKGROUND:
The Level -1 password system is the MCIT-preferred approach to accessing
UMHS systems and services in a secure, encrypted manner. The Level - 1 password
system requires remote access users to enter their uniqname and Kerberos password
to access the network, and then enter their (Level2) application user name
and password to access a secure application. This ensures that only authorized
users gain access to the server and applications behind it. Only secure web-enabled
services may be accessed remotely.

The UMHS internal
network includes (a) workstations and ports that are physically located in
UMHS facilities (on‑campus and off‑site); and (b) UMHS modem pool
connections. Other types of connections
(cable modem, DSL line, AOL, etc.) are outside the UMHS network.
Level-1 Authentication
Service, often referred to as the "firewall," is the system that
allows authorized users to access the UMHS internal network from external
connections. This is a key part of
the security infrastructure that protects UMHS patient data and proprietary
information.
To date, Level
1 has been used primarily to make CareWeb available to remote users. Now it is evolving to become a single point
of access to all internal UMHS web-based information resources. The URL http://level1.med.umich.edu can
be bookmarked by users and can be used to link a variety of web applications
to Level 1.
