- when using any platform to access webscript-authenticated resources, an "insecure document" warning must be acknowledged.
- when using any platform to access resources located on Columbia's secure server, login with cunix ID is required.
- when using a CNet Kiosk (X-Term) to access resources which are webscript-authenticated or located on Columbia's secure server, a Netscape certificate must be accepted.
