Obtaining accounts on systems maintained by LCSR-CF

• The person needing the account should be in the Rutgers People Database.
  Rutgers maintains a directory of information about people somehow associated with the University. If the person is an employee or student at Rutgers, this step is probably unnecessary. Private information contained in that directory is used in the next step.
  (The person sponsoring the account request should confirm the request to be added to the PDB.)
• The person should have or obtain a Rutgers NetID.
  This will become the person's username and/or email address. If the person already has a Unix account somewhere at Rutgers, this step is probably unnecessary.
  (The person needs to be in the PDB before being able to get a NetID.)
• One or more specific accounts should be requested for the person.
  We have several different types of accounts available:
  • Unix command line accounts (eg, faculty, research or student login accounts);
  • LCSR domain accounts (for authentication of all public Mac and Windows machines within DCS as well as mounting of DCS faculty, research or grad unix files on Macs and PCs)
  • email accounts (on a special email server).
    Note: once someone has an account on one of the faculty, research or graduate Unix machines, they can create their own email account by going to the email server at https://dragon.rutgers.edu/ and clicking on the "Make Account" button.
  (This request should be made by the sponsoring user and can be sent at the same time as the confirmation of the request to be added to the PDB.)
