Purdue University

As part of the efforts to certify Purdue as a CMMC Level 2 compliant institution, authentication to Weber, ThinLlinc access, and data egress will change during a maintenance scheduled for 8 AM -12 PM on March 5th, 2026.

** How does this change impact you? **

Login to Weber: The change will simplify logging into Weber. Weber users currently need to authenticate to Luna VPN or VDI with Luna credentials, and then additionally authenticate to Weber with BoilerAD credentials. After the change, users will just need to use their Luna password when logging into Weber resources, including via ThinlLinc, SMB, and SSH. Luna password will be the same password as is currently used to log into the VPN.

ThinlLinc: Anyone accessing Weber via ThinLinc directly from their endpoint will need to switch to using ThinLinc from a Luna Desktop.

Data Egress: File egress will be disabled, and users will need to submit a ticket each time they wish to transfer files outside weber. Egress to Apricon drives will no longer be supported on regular endpoints.

During the maintenance window, job scheduling though Slurm and network drive mounts of Weber storage will be unavailable.

These changes position Purdue to meet the requirements of CMMC Level 2 compliance and will be crucial for continuation of various grants and contracts.
