<p>If you haven’t done so already, please make sure to log into WEBSIS (at student.mit.edu) and click on the MITPAY link to set up an authorized payer for your student account.</p>
<p>See the blog for more info.</p>
<p>Help! Is it just me or can people access the MITPAY link? I’m getting an “unauthorized page” message… thanks!</p>
<p>you need to get the right certificates! (I think…because I haven’t received my packet yet I can’t confirm)</p>
<p>get them at <a href=“http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/certificates/[/url]”>http://web.mit.edu/ist/topics/certificates/</a></p>
<p>You are correct! Certificates are crucial. You need your kerberos ID and certs…</p>
<p>it’s really strange - I tried getting a personal certificate and everything, but i’m still not authorized to view stuff on Websis or enter the HASS lottery yet. Why’s that so?</p>
<p>*User myusernameishere does not have a student record.</p>
<p>You must be a registered MIT student to use this system.*</p>
<p>Dumdidum? Did I do something wrong?</p>
<p>Hmmm… mithopefulgirl and amrik I’ll check tomorrow to see what is going on. I know that others have already been able to log in and set up MITPAY, but I’ll check and post back here.</p>
<p>Oh, you have to wait overnight for your username to be registered into the system to use WEBSIS, MITPAY, and other services. The only service you can access right away is the Webmail.</p>
<p>Patience isn’t my strongest suit. 
It’s working now.</p>
