Stay Connected with Communicator Web Access
Have you ever been on a public Internet access or friend's computer and wished you could dash off a quick instant message to a colleague when a protracted email dialog wouldn't do and a phone call was not possible? Communicator Web Access allows you to easily do just that. Simply point the browser to
https://cwa.uky.edu and sign in with your Active Directory userid and password (ad\userid or mc\userid). If you enter your userid and password correctly a popup window will appear (make sure that the browser will allow popups from this site) that looks almost exactly like the Communicator client on your desktop.
The R2 release of Communicator Web Access has the exciting new feature of allowing desktop sharing in addition to instant messaging. Windows users can share their desktop with other OCS R2 users who are using the Communicator Web Access client even if they are on an Apple Macintosh or Linux computer to further enhance collaboration.
This is a great way to have instant messaging wherever you are without the need for a Communicator client to be installed.
This also works great for non-Windows based machines such as Linux or Apple MacOS.
