Register for a SLAC Computer Account
After getting your SLAC ID number, you can begin the paperwork to apply for a SLAC computing account. To do this, you should follow the steps at http://www2.slac.stanford.edu/comp/slacwide/account/account.html. There are two forms that must be filled out. One is the declaration form, certifying that you have read through the document on acceptable use of computing resources. The other is the actual computing account application. The latter form will ask numerous questions. Following is a brief explanation of some of the fields that might not be immediately clear:
- Requestor information (leave blank)
- SID #: This is found in the e-mail confirming creation of your SLUO account (see above)
- New Account Type: If you are an offsite user, you must request a Unix account at a minimum, as that is the account used to access the batch and file systems; however, it wouldn't hurt to request but a Windows account as wellis strongly advised
- SLAC e-mailbox: If you work primarily at another institution, it would probably be best to select None; you can still receive e-mails at USERNAME@slac.stanford.edu, they will simply be forwarded to your primary e-mail account; otherwise, MS Exchange or Unix should probably be selected on the basis of your preferred e-mail client (Outlook would imply MS Exchange, anything else would probably imply Unix)
- Requested User ID: This can be anything, but generally some combination of your last name and possibly your first name or initial would be best – this will make it easier for other users to identify who you actually are from files that you create or edit
- Computer Czar: This should be Concetta Cartaro.
After filling out both of the SLAC computing forms, they should be faxed to Concetta Cartaro at 650-926-3883. It is also a good idea to send a brief e-mail to Concetta to confirm their receipt. You can also scan the forms and email them directly to her. She will sign your computing account form and forward it to the SLAC Computing Division, which should send you an e-mail with your new account information in a few days. If it takes longer than this, something is probably held up and you should contact the Account Services Desk at 650-926-ACCT and/or Concetta.
Once you have received e-mails confirming your new account(s), follow directions for changing the default password(s) as soon as possible. Once again, your account will be locked if you do not do this quickly!
After obtaining a Unix account, you will probably need to separately request access to the CDMS pages on Confluence to access important resources. To do this, simply send an e-mail to confluence-admin@slac.stanford.edu with your SLAC username and CDMS Computer Czar. You can also move on to Connecting to SLAC Computing Systems to test out your new account.
