Login at Murdoch
The most commonly used login at Murdoch University is the Murdoch Username and the Murdoch Password. The Murdoch Username is based on an Identification Number (eg. Staff Number, Student Number, or Person Number).
- To log in to computing and network facilities such as computer workstations,
a user is required to enter a valid Murdoch Username and Murdoch Password.
- Access to application systems (eg. MyInfo, My Library, Web Self Service)
is restricted and requires a
user to enter a valid Murdoch Username and Murdoch Password at a login screen.
- Access to services such as Webmail is restricted
and requires a user to enter a valid Murdoch Username and Murdoch Password
at a login screen.
- Where information resources have been restricted
via the Murdoch Authentication & Identification System (MAIS),
a user is required to enter a valid Murdoch Username and Murdoch Password
at a login screen. For example: When a student uses an account with an Internet
Service Provider to access Murdoch University information resources, such
as past exam papers. These resources may not be restricted to students whilst
using on-campus facilities, or whilst connecting through the University modem
pool.
Whilst accessing certain systems and services, users may not be required to login if they are already logged in to another system or service. This is called single-signon (or login persistence), but this feature is not available across all systems and services.
There are some systems and services that do not use the Murdoch Username and Murdoch Password.
The following are some of the systems and services with a Web interface that use the Murdoch Username and Murdoch Password for login. Other systems and services with a Web interface that require authentication are listed in the index of E-Services. The Murdoch Username and Murdoch Password is also the login combination for a range of computing and network facilities.

Users should be aware that although they are able to use the same login (ie. Murdoch Username and Murdoch Password) for different systems (eg. MyInfo, Web Self Service), in most cases they may need to log in again when changing from one system to another. This is because they are different systems and single-signon is not yet available.
There are situations where the Murdoch Authentication & Identification
System (MAIS) is used to restrict access and in these cases there is
login persistence. For
example: Once a student has logged in to MyMurdoch and selected the MyUnits page, they are then able to select a link
to Lectopia and connect to that service without having to login again. For more
detail, refer to the MAIS
Help Topics.
