Using VMAP
Authentication and user data
When you select the sign-in link from the home page, the VMAP system will connect to an authentication server at CSE. You will need to use your CSE credentials to log on. Your CSE username and password are entered on a system controlled by CSE and are not transferred to or stored on the VMAP site.The authentication server returns your UNSW ID, given name, family name and CSE email address to the VMAP system. This data is necessary to create an account for you, and to enable the VMAP system to send product download information and product keys.
Downloading software
We are currently experiencing some issues checking out products if you are using the CSE proxy servers. While we attempt to resolve them, if you are having problems we recommend that you use the Uniwide network or your home network. The images that are downloaded do not come from the CSE mirror, and will count towards your CSE IP quota.Getting Help with VMAP
As VMAP is an third party product, you should contact e-academy directly using the information in the Help section of VMAP. CSE will not be able to help you with product key information.If you have problems logging on to VMAP, then you should contact ss@cse.unsw.edu.au
