Access to multiple MWS web sites

Some people may need to have access to more than one site on the MWS. Authorisation for access is per-site, so an application for access to another site must be completed by a manager of that site.

If you are registered to access more than one site you will only use one password, and have one personal filespace that is common to all the web sites you are authorised to use. See the caveat on personal web pages.

For example, you may be registered to access both www.foo.cam.ac.uk and www.bar.cam.ac.uk.

To work on the foo server you can login to that server:

 ssh www.foo.cam.ac.uk 

You will be logged in to your personal filespace and the web pages for the foo server will be in /site/htdocs. Files belonging to the bar server are not available.

To login to the bar server:

 ssh www.bar.cam.ac.uk 

Again you will be logged in to your personal filespace and the web pages bar server will be in /site/htdocs. Files belonging to the foo server are not available.
