Connecting to AirNet Using Ubuntu Linux

Friday, November 14th, 2008

One of our student technicians in Client Support documented a simple guide for connecting to AirNet using Ubuntu Linux and posted it as a comment to our Understanding Campus Wireless entry. He says these concepts work for other distributions, but the commands may be different.

Our boss was impressed with these instructions (and the fact that our student used his MySBfiles to document this). We decided to pull his comment out of the obscurity of the 50+ remarks we received and made it a blog post unto itself in the hopes that it might reach a wider audience and someone might find it useful.

Way to go, Addisen!

Adding External Collaborators to SB SharePoint Sites

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

Our Windows administrator, Brian Heller, found a way to grant external collaborators access to SharePoint sites created at Stony Brook University. The procedure was tested by members of Client Support and documented by Client Support director Charlie Bowman.

A SharePoint user is considered an external collaborator if they do not have a Stony Brook University NetID and NetID password.

More information can be found on the SB Division of Information Technology SharePoint Web page.
