VPN and WebVPN
The Problem: Internet access from home is great, but the access to some web services is restricted to computers belonging to the university network. Online journals, publishers and databases are the most important examples.
There are different solutions:
  1. Use a VPN (virtual private network) client at home. See the VPN pages of our Universitätsrechenzentrum.
  2. Access such protected web pages through the WebVPN service provided by our Universitätsrechenzentrum here.
  3. For both 1) and 2) you need an account at the Rechenzentrum (for "server1.rz.uni-leipzig.de"). Therefore we have our own WebVPN client running on miserv112.
    Please click here and use login and password from our institute.
  4. New! A better WebVPN/HTTP proxy is here! Click and use login and password from our institute.

Single sign-on
User management is based on LDAP with the aim of "single sign-on": One username and one password for all central services. The one and only way to change your central password is this web interface. Presently, we use LDAP for
  • Mail access (IMAP and POP3 server, squirrelmail webmailer, smartsieve mail configuration management)
  • Login to Miserv112
  • FTP access to your homepages
  • Access to your "Netzlaufwerk" (backup drive) from Windows
  • Access to password-protected web pages (Fakultätsrat)
  • Login to SunRay terminals and the SunRay server misun113.

Miserv111: File- and backup server
Everyone can get file space on miserv111 in order to have important data backed up. Twice a week (Wednesday night and over the weekend) a tape backup is written.

Windows users access the fileserver by a "Netzlaufwerk". Click in your file manager on "Extras -> Netzlaufwerk verbinden", enter the path \\139.18.10.111\<username> and use your central password to connect.

Linux users can simply NFS-mount their directory from Miserv111.


Miserv112: printserver & gateway
Use it to log into the institute's network from outside:
ssh miserv112.mathematik.uni-leipzig.de   or
ssh 139.18.10.112
Home directory is your backup directory from Miserv111. The private web sites are accessible under /www/<username>.
File transfer from the outside is possible using sftp or scp.

Web calendar
Everyone can advertice talks, colloquia etc on our web calendar. Log in with your central password in order to add/edit entries. Links in the text beginning with http:// will be click-able. You can include one or more attachments, e.g. the poster of the talk as postscript file.

If the calendar looks strange in your web browser, please check that "Style sheets (CSS)" and "Javascript" are enabled.
