The login process for MIT Wikis will change on August 1, 2009. Authentication for all users (including MIT-community members with personal certificates) will now be managed solely by MIT Touchstone. This means that Stellar and Wikis that Wiki users will see a different set of login screens when accessing these systems.

You are a MIT user if you:

  • have a MIT Kerberos account
  • have a @mit.edu email address
  • have a MIT personal certificate

All other users are Guest users

Users with a Kerberos account or personal certificate do not need to create a Collaboration Account to use Stellar. Touchstone supports both Kerberos and certificates.

Wiki users

Users without Stellar accounts must provide an email address to the Instructor or Admin of the site they wish to access. The Instructor must add you to the membership list of this site. You will receive an email with instructions on how to create your Collaboration Account.

Users can also create a Collaboration Account first and then provide their email address to the Instructor. So long as the email address is the same as the one you used to create your Collaboration Account, you will have access to Stellar.

To access a wiki space, you must be a member of the wiki space group. Your Space Administrator may grant you permissions to the space.

In addition, nonNon-MIT users MUST activate their Collaboration Account in order to access their class Wiki sites.
These users will appear as a "Provisional User" on the Participant List until they have activated their account AND successfully logged into Stellar  Users can create a Collaboration Account first and then provide their email address to the Space Admin.

At this time, using OpenID to login is not recognized by most MIT applications. However, if you wish, you may associate your OpenID account with your Collaboration Account. To do this you must create a Collaboration Account first, then update your user profile to associate your OpenID account to your Collaboration Account. Once the association is complete, you can use your OpenID account to login. Please note that MIT Touchstone does not yet support OpenID 2.0.
