> -----Original Message-----
> As you may already know, MIT's Information Systems is phasing out
> support for web pages currently on tute.mit.edu. Because the
> Department of Facilities has several pages that reference the
> tute.mit.edu server, this change will impact web pages and forms that
> the MIT community now uses.
>
> Over the next few weeks, we will slowly migrate web pages from
> "http://TUTE.MIT.EDU <http://tute.mit.edu/>" to <https://mit.edu/> (note
> the
> "s" following "http").
> It is important to note that any bookmarks and/or shortcuts you may have
> to
> these pages will
> no longer function. Also, MIT certificates will be needed to access
> these updated pages. (For more details about certificates, please
> view the online documentation at <http://web.mit.edu/is/cert>.) We
> will notify the community as we execute new pages.
>
> The first pages to go online as of Monday, August 13th, 2001 are the
> following:
>
> <https://web.mit.edu/facilities/www/custodial/forms/clean-req.shtml>
> <https://web.mit.edu/facilities/www/custodial/forms/furn-req.shtml>
> <https://web.mit.edu/facilities/www/custodial/forms/pest.shtml>
>
> <https://web.mit.edu/facilities/www/sa/forms/instr.shtml>
>
> Please let us know if you have any questions regarding these changes.
> We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this process.
>
> In addition, refer to the email below sent by Theresa Regan of I/S for
> more
> details regarding this change.

>
> -------
> "In order to provide a more consistent mechanism for secure
> access to sensitive or MIT-only web pages, it is important to migrate
> current references to "http://TUTE.MIT.EDU <http://tute.mit.edu/>" to
> certificate-controlled
> access via <https://mit.edu/>. Information Systems requests that all web
> publishers begin planning for this change.
>
> It is expected that the schedule for this transition will be
> as follows: After September 30th, 2001, tute.mit.edu web server will
> no longer be a supported service. The service itself will be
> decommissioned no later than October 30th, 2001.
>
> Moving to the use of certificates, which is already required
> for a wide array of MIT services, will allow you to offer secure
> access to members of the MIT community, when accessing from home,
> office or through another Internet Service Provider (ISP) . The
> newer campus web servers make certificate use easy, and these
> machines are configured such that three powerful servers are
> opposed to the single, antiquated machine "tute.mit.edu".
> Additionally, the main web servers offer more capability and better
> support for your web publishing needs.
>
> In order to make the best resources available, and to provide
> a more consistent security mechanism that works well for users on
> campus and at home, we ask that web publishers migrate their
> offerings to the main web servers as rapidly as possible. On-line
> documentation is available at:
>
> <http://web.mit.edu/cwis/web/htaccess-usage.shtml>
>
> Web Communications Services, WCS, is available to assist with
> any questions or concerns. Please write to web-help@mit.edu or call
> x3-0101."
