For
more transparent and user friendly access from home XP machines
you can refer to the below additional advises:
| A. |
Create a local user account whose name is the same as your SMU
userid, |
| B. |
Make
sure the local user account uses the same password as your SMU
userid, |
| C. |
Always
initiate VPN and perform work related operations from that local
account. |
| D.
|
Always
keep both accounts' password in sync. (same password) |
Please
note, however, any compromise to the local account would have
effectively the same impact as if your SMU account has been compromised.
