Initial Setup of MySmith

The initial configuration of MySmith is important because it allows you access your network drive while using any of the Citrix applications, including saving and reading files from their K drive.  In addition, you will be able to view upcoming events at the Smith School and use Lotus Domino applications.

The Lotus Domino and Citrix portlets use your Smith School username and password so all Smith faculty, staff, and MBA students will be able to save all their work onto their network storage (K drive) that have been allocated to you.

NOTE:  Undergrads who do not have a Smith School login will have to save their data onto their local drive or on a flash drive (see FAQ for more details)

  1. Open your web browser and go to: http://my.umd.edu
  2. Enter your University Directory username and password.  This is the same username and password you might already be using with the campus wireless network, Testudo, or Blackboard.
  3. Click Login  You will be presented with the MyUM home page.  To access MySmith click the “MySmith” tab.
  4. Go to the Smith Identity Portlet located on the left.  When you click on the link "Click here to update your MySmith profile", you will see a popup asking you for your Smith login, Smith status (fac/staff, MBA, undergrad), and if you have a Novell or Notes account (if you have a Smith login, then you will answer yes to both). After you save your settings, you should see 2 green lights and you're set!
