Frequently Asked Questions

Web Services

What can I do with my user account ?

The Intranet frontpage shows a survey on services that you can access via your LMF credentials, depending on your status (faculty, intern, external collaborator, etc.). If you need access beyond the standard offer, please contact us at registration@lmf.cnrs.fr.

I lost my password, how can I reset it ?

If your LDAP account has already been created

You can request a password reset link by entering your username and your rescue mail address. If you cannot remember which email you choose for rescue, you may find it in the welcome message "Your LMF LDAP account is active". If everything fails, contact us at registration@lmf.cnrs.fr.

If you just entered your profile, but your account was not created

Go to the registration interface and enter wrong credentials. You will be offered to reset your password. This will only give you access to the registration interface only.

When do my updates become effective ?

Most user-management operations are reviewed manually, which can take up to 24 hours in normal times (but times are rarely normal). If you need your access more quickly, please write us (Dietmar, Frédéric) at registration@lmf.cnrs.fr and we try to help.
