Accounts

BMB or Chemistry LDAP Account

All graduate students, staff, postdocs, and faculty in the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemistry & Molecular Biology can request a Chemistry or BMB LDAP account.

Undergraduate students currently enrolled in courses in either Department have an account set up for them.

Your BMB or Chemistry LDAP account username is the same as your Campus NetID, but they are NOT the same account: if you change the password of one account, it will NOT change the password for the other.

Uses:

  • BMB and Chemistry Wireless Network
  • File server
  • Meeting Room Booking
  • WordPress sites
  • VPN
  • ISB Computer Resource Center
