What is an IU Network ID?

Your Network ID is your electronic identity at Indiana University; it consists of both a username and a passphrase (often referred to as your network passphrase). You need a Network ID to do the following:

• Create additional accounts using the Account Management Service (AMS)
• Synchronize or change your passphrases on UITS systems; see At IU, how do I change or synchronize my Network ID passphrase?
• Log into your email account on Cyrus mail (using any client, including IU Webmail)
• Access the IU dial-in modems
• Log into the Mac OS X computers in the IU Student Technology Centers (STCs)
• Obtain software via IUware Online

If you are a student, faculty member, or staff member at IU, you can use the AMS to generate your initial accounts, including your Network ID; see How do I get my first computing accounts at IU?

If you are IPFW faculty or staff, contact the IPFW IT office at 260-481-6030 to obtain your Network ID.

If you do not know your Network ID passphrase, see At IU, if I forget my passphrase on a UITS shared central system, what should I do?
