Useful Hint: When you see links in Sandia Announcements to useful information on the the www-irn server, you can try to access the information from the SON by appending the document location to the address of the reverse proxy server. For example, if the link points to: http://www-irn.sandia.gov/office2003/UsingNewWebMail.htm, you can access the document @ https://rproxy.sandia.gov/www-irn/office2003/UsingNewWebMail.htm, (see also the information below on how to get access to the reverse proxy server). Essentially, in the hyperlink, you replace "https://www-irn.sandia.gov" with "https://rproxy.sandia.gov/www-irn". Similarly, for documents on the RAN network, replace "http://www.ran.sandia.gov/" with "https://rproxy.sandia.gov/ran/". This obviously does not work for all documents on the RAN and IRN, but it does for many documents that we should have access to.

• SRN Limited Access for Foreign National employees: Useful links to time cards, corporate training, expense reports, conference room scheduler, corporate forms, benefits information, corporate e-mail.

If you do not already have access to this, you definitely need to talk to your manager to get you set up with a Kerberos account.



At Sandia, a tremendous amount of information is available on an internal, restricted network (SRN or IRN or RAN). However, Foreign Nationals in general do not have access to this internal network. Fortunately, many parts of this network are accessible through a proxy server. Through this proxy server to the SRN , you can access your time card, expense reports, the conference room organizer, and many other resources. To get access, you do need a Kerberos password, which can be requested for you by someone who already has access (e.g. your manager or Office Management Assistant).
