Stony Brook faculty, staff, and students have a NetID username and NetID password which they can use to access various computing resources. ** This does not apply to e-mail! **
Your NetID and your SOLAR ID are two important identifiers. Each ID has its own password and its own special uses. NetID is used to access University services such as: SINC Site computers and printing, MySBfiles, Blackboard, ResNet, library databases, sunysb.edu administrative shares, dial-in services and VPN.
Information regarding your NetID and NetID password can be obtained by logging into SOLAR with your Stony Brook ID and SOLAR password. On the SOLAR homepage, click NetID Maintenance under Security and Personal Data .
Staff: If you currently sign on to the SUNYSB.EDU domain you already have a NetID and NetID password that you are using to sign on to this domain. You do not have to do anything but set your security question in SOLAR. If you do not currently sign on to the SUNYSB.EDU domain you will have to set your security question and your initial NetID password.
