About WebISO

WebISO is the means by which Carnegie Mellon web services securely verify the identity of Carnegie Mellon users. WebISO does not require installation of a plug-in or any other software. However, your browser must:

  • be configured to accept cookies
  • have the Carnegie Mellon server certificates installed (see Server Certificates)

The first time you visit a WebISO-enabled service, you will be redirected to the login server at http://webiso.andrew.cmu.edu. Your browser will be automatically returned to your original destination once you establish your credentials by entering your User ID and password. Andrew, CS, and ECE accounts are supported, though some services only accept Andrew User IDs.

Important! Until you close your browser or twelve (12) hours pass, your browser will have access to all WebISO-protected resources without the need to answer the user/password challenge. Please keep this in mind when you are using WebISO - especially when using a computer other than your own! Note that with some web browsers (e.g., Internet Explorer) you must close all web browsers to end your WebISO session.
