Stony Brook faculty, staff, and students have a NetID username and NetID password which they can use to access various computing resources.

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, MySBmail (student e-mail accounts), MySBfiles, Blackboard, ResNet, library databases, sunysb.edu administrative shares, Softweb, dial-in services and VPN.

Information regarding your NetID and NetID password can be obtained by logging in to 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 in to the SUNYSB.EDU domain you already have a NetID and NetID password that you are using to sign in to this domain. You do not have to do anything but set your security question in SOLAR. If you do not currently sign in to the SUNYSB.EDU domain you will have to set your security question and your initial NetID password.
