What is IMAD?

The IMAD service permit is used to create a user account in the campus Active Directory that matches a user account in the centralized campus computing accounts database. The only requirement for obtaining an IMAD service permit is that you have an IKRB service permit. The IKRB service permit is included by default on all new campus accounts.

What is ADSP?

The ADSP permit is used to set your password in the campus Active Directory. The first time you set up this permit, you will be asked to enter your Kerberos password. This will allow you to set the initial password for your campus Active Directory account. Once you have the added the permit, any time you change the password for the ADSP service permit it will set your password on the campus Active Directory account.
