3 3 Overview As of August 1, 2015, the Center for Mass Spectrometry and Proteomics (CMSP) will share project data through the University of Minnesota s Office of Information Technology (OIT). This document is intended to provide instructions for accessing data from within and outside the University of Minnesota network. Figure 1 Overview of CMSP File Sharing through OIT As shown in Figure 1, CMSP acquires data via mass spectrometers and transfers the resulting raw files to OIT data storage. Once transferred, University of Minnesota Informatics Institute (UMII) staff members and/or CMSP staff members will transfer the raw files to a CMSP computer for further quantification and identification analysis. Once complete, the UMII Staff and/or CMSP staff will transfer the raw results, quantification and/or identification results, and any other pertinent documentation to OIT data storage and notify the researcher via . After receiving the , researchers can access their data with their x.500 id using the instructions in this guide in conjunction with the information in the notification . Off-campus access to the University of Minnesota network (for UMN and Sponsored researchers) is

4 4 accomplished by establishing a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection (see section Virtual Private Network (VPN)). User Note: This OIT storage is for sharing data with CMSP and researchers. Researchers must not store their own research or personal data within CMSP shared folders. x.500 id access All access to OIT data storage is through your x.500 id. (Your x.500 id is you UMN internet ID and is the username that you use to for ). If you don t have an active x.500 id, you will not be able to access your data. Internal Accounts If you are affiliated with the University of Minnesota (student, faculty, post-doc, researcher), you will have an x.500 account. If you don t remember your x.500 id or your password, go to UMN IT Help at External Accounts If you are not affiliated with the University of Minnesota (CMSP External Customer), you must obtain a sponsored University of Minnesota account. For existing CMSP customers who do not have an x.500 account please fill out the CMSP Sponsored Account Request form (z.umn.edu/cmsprsa) and Dr. Pratik Jagtap at pjagtap@umn.edu indicating you requested a sponsored account. For new CMSP customers, CMSP staff will request a sponsored account when your billing information is set up. User Note: you must have an x.500 id or you will not be able to access your CMSP generated data.

5 5 Accessing Your Data on UMN network If you are inside the UMN network (that is, you are on campus or have gained access to the UMN network through a VPN (see Section: Virtual Private Network (VPN)) you can gain access to CMSP shared data. Windows Platforms If you are using a Windows platform, perform the following steps: 1. Click on the start button in the lower left-hand corner of your desktop. 2. Select one of the following options to navigate to the Map Network Drive window Option 1: Right-click on the Computer entry and select Map network drive (See Figure 2). Figure 2 Navigate to Map Network Drive Window - Option 1 User Note: Your start menu may look slightly different. The start menu in this guide are snapshot from Windows 7.

6 6 Option 2: Click on the Computer entry (Figure 3). Figure 3 Navigate to Network Drive Window - Option 2 Step 1 You will next see a window similar to the following (see Figure 4). Click on the Map network drive button on the top banner. If you don t see the Map network drive button, your window may be too narrow. Simply widen the window to make the Map network drive button visible. Figure 4 Navigate to Network Drive Window - Option 2 Step 2

7 7 3. Fill in the Map Network Drive Fields (For XP systems, see section 4) a. Drive: Select a drive letter from the available drop down menu (see Figure 5). b. Folder: Enter \\files.umn.edu\cmsp-ns\researchdata\xxxxxxxx where xxxxxxxx is the x.500 id of the PI for your group (see Figure 5). c. Reconnect at logon Check this box if you want to reconnect each time you log on to your computer. Checking this box is only appropriate if you do not share a computer (see Figure 5). d. Connect using different credentials Check this box if you did not sign on to your computer with your x.500 id (see Figure 5). e. Click the Finish button when complete (see Figure 5). a b c d e Figure 5 Fill in Map Network Drive Fields User Note: You will receive the path to your mapped network drive in an from CMSP staff once your data is acquired and/or processed.

8 8 f. Enter your x.500 id and password (see Figure 6). Note that OIT is in the active directory domain. If you are not on active directory (this is not common), then precede your x.500 id with ad\ indicating that you are connecting to the active domain. If you don t know what this means, simply try using your x.500 alone. If that doesn t work, try using ad\your_x.500. f Figure 6 Enter x.500 id and password You will be presented with a window similar to the one depicted in Figure 7.
