Iscte Account
SIIC assigns user accounts to all Iscte employees. The account is personal and non-transferable.
For instance, the employee Xisto Ximenes has the following credentials:
Username: xxnes@iscte-iul.pt
Email address: Xisto_Ximenes@iscte-iul.pt
Password: Password.2020
The iscte account password must comply with the following requirements:
- Must be at least 10 characters long.
- You should not reuse an old password.
- It must not contain your username (excluding the @iscte-iul.pt suffix) or any of its used names, excluding particles that are less than three characters long.
- It should not contain characters considered illegal (;, , , ‘, ‘, %, *, blank).
- It must contain characters from at least three of the following categories:
- Capitals not accented (‘A’ to ‘Z’).
- Lowercase not accented (‘a’ to ‘z’).
- Decimal digits (‘0’ to ‘9’).
- Non-alphanumeric characters (!, #, &, etc.).
- Passwords must be confidential.
- Do not store passwords on visible papers or locations.
- Regularly change your password even on systems that don’t require you to do so.
- Do not automatically record on systems (e.g. browsers).
- Do not use the same passwords in an academic context and in a personal context.
- To create a secure password think of an easy-to-remember phrase and then define a method to turn that phrase into a password.
For instance:
Phrase: how to set a secure password in 2020!
Method: first letter of each word, third word in letters, use only the last two digits of numbers and keep special characters.
Password: htSETaspi20! (Do not use this example).

Telework
In teleworking the devices and means of connectivity are not in the infrastructure of the Iscte and for this reason the attention must be redoubled.
Before moving the workstation home, the employee must obtain the appropriate authorisation from the service manager.
The latter must forward the request to SIIC by filling in the form available here.
Employees who do not have administration privileges on their workstation (desktop or laptop), should request VPN configuration before moving the equipment home.
If the workstation is a desktop computer, they should request a network cable for internet access at home, since Iscte desktops do not have a wireless card.
In teleworking all recommendations for the use of computer media in face-to-face work are also applicable.
Below is a summary of the main recommendations
Devices
- It is necessary to ensure exclusivity of use. If there is no such possibility, different usage profiles must be ensured.
- Antivirus and programs update in general.
- Automatic session lock.
- Do not frequent pirated and derivative streaming sites.
- Use different passwords for personal and work accounts.
Networks and Connectivity
- Use home network connectivity. Avoid using public space connectivity.
- Do not use commercial VPN services to connect to Organization resources (e.g. Nordvpn).
