 User Accounts:
ESF NetID
NetIDs (User accounts) at ESF
At ESF, a NetID (or user account/credentials) consists of 3 parts: a
username, a password, and a domain. You need all
three parts to log on to the ESF Campus Network via public PCs (coming
throughout the fall of 2005 and spring of 2006) or to access services such as email or
Evergreen -- the ESF Wireless
Network (coming fall 2005).
The username is, in most cases, the prefix of a person's
ESF or SU email address. For example, if a user's email address is
eustice@esf.edu, then their user name is just eustice. Please
see below for acceptable username conventions.
The password is information that should only be known to
the user and not shared with others. For specific detail about
passwords at ESF, click here. Students
will use the same password they enter when logging-in to view their
records on the Student Services Web site (via
https://wwwinfo.esf.edu/student/).
For most users, the domain is currently ESFADMIN. Other
domains that exist on the ESF Campus are CMWPE, MSL, and (starting
in the fall of 2005), STUDENTS. Under certain circumstances, guests
will be able to connect to ESF systems, such as the ESF Wireless
Network, and their credentials will reside in the STUDENTS domain.
Currently, many ESF employees use their user accounts to access
ESF email and to publish information to www.esf.edu.
General NetID (user account) conventions/standards:
 | When logging in, if there is no space to specifically enter the
domain (i.e. a two line log in), use the following convention
to include the domain: domain/user name. For example, if our
user eustice is a member of the ESFADMIN domain, the
following would be entered as the user name in a two line log in:
ESFADMIN\eustice. See below for an example of a 2 line log-in: |
| If there is a space for the domain name (i.e. a three
line log in), it should be entered accordingly. When logging in to a
PC after a reboot or log off, the available domains will be listed
in a drop-down list labeled 'Log on to.' |
| User names and domains are not case sensitive, but passwords
are.
|
| ESF usernames will take one of the following forms as determined
by CNS: |
- The user's first and middle name initials and their full
last name (e.g. Eustice B. Nifkin: ebnifkin).
- The user's first initial and full last name (e.g. Eustice B.
Nifkin: enifkin).
- The user's first and middle name initials and part of the
last name up to a total of 8 characters (e.g. Elsa F. Freeborn:
effreebo). This latter is the convention used in most cases by
Syracuse University.
| Students: Remember, your ESF NetID consists of the
following:
| Your SU email address prefix (The part before the '@syr.edu') |
| Your Student Services Log-In password (ESF Password) |
| Your Domain name at ESF: STUDENTS
|
|
| Students: If you change your Student Services Log-In
password, it will take time for this change to be reflected in your
NetID. This time period is currently days (as of 9/1/05), but it
will be reduced to minutes in the near future. |
