Directions for Logging in to your CSEE User Account for the First Time
Important! Read this notice!

  • If a computing session is active, log out by pressing <CTRL><ALT><DEL> and selecting the "Logoff" button.
  • Press <CTRL><ALT><DEL> to log in. You will be presented with the logon window.
  • In the "Username" field, enter your Engineering UNIX user name (this assumes you have an engineering Unix account!).
  • Tab down or use the mouse to select the "Password" field.
  • For your First login only: In the "Password" field, enter your eight digit SUNYCARD Person Number (unless otherwise instructed by your advisor and/or computer lab staff).
  • Make sure the "Domain" field is set to CIELAB. If this field is set to any other value, select the field and use your mouse to select the CIELAB domain.
  • When all information is correct, select <OK> with the mouse, or press the <ENTER> key. The CIELAB domain controller will process your logon information.

     (Note: The next four steps only have to be performed for the first logon, unless you change your password again)
  • The statement "You are required to change your password at first logon" will appear. Select "OK".
  • When prompted, enter your Engineering UNIX password in the "New Password" field.
  • Tab down to the "Confirm New Password" field and reenter your new password. Select "OK".
  • If you properly completed the above steps, the message "Your password has been changed" will appear. Select "OK".
  • For any of the subsequent dialog boxes that appear, select "OK"


  • (Note: The next step needs to be performed the first time you log onto a specific PC; Subsequent logons to the same PC will not require this step to be performed.)
  • Make sure the Netware Preferred Server field is set as <None>. Select "OK" 
  • Your Windows NT logon script will execute, establishing drive mappings and cleaning up the local hard drive.
  • A prompt will appear asking you for a password to a server named DESTINY; re-enter your Engineering Unix password at this point.
  • Note that drive I: is now mapped to your Engineering UNIX directory. You will be able to store files (up to 30 mb) here and access this directory from any PC you log onto in the lab, as long as you correctly entered your Engineering UNIX password as described above and the Engineering UNIX file system is functioning properly.
  • When you finish your session, press <CTRL><ALT><DEL> to log out. Select "Logoff" from the button field. Your session will be closed.
  • Note: if you do not log off, your Unix home directory will remain open to the next user of this PC. 
  • The next time you log on, you only need to supply your username, password, and domain (CIELAB).


NOTICE:

It is strongly recommended that
You create a folder named CIELAB
within your UNIX home directory (drive I:), and
    you store all your CSEE department files there.
The department is NOT responsible for files stored
in any other location, unless special arrangements are made
with a specific instructor relevant to a particular class.
