# B.3. Determining the sid

Several methods require a value for the `sid`, or server ID, parameter. Note that this is different from the `system_id`. You may determine the `sid` of a machine in two different ways. First, you can log into the RHN website, click the name of a system, and view the `sid` at the end of the URL in the location bar. It follows the "=" symbol and is part of a string that resembles the following: "index.pxt?sid=1003486534". Second, you may use the `list_user_systems` method within the system class to obtain a list of systems available to the user that contains the associated `sid`s.
