The existing computer will be replaced by a laptop with a docking station via an informal email. The laptop can be used when working from home or on the go. The laptop is technically restricted for reasons of data protection and IT security and can only establish a connection to the University of Hohenheim. One exception is video conferencing with Zoom and Webex. Access to the terminal server is additionally secured through a two-factor authentication. You will receive the required token at the IT Service Desk. For the conversion, a lead time of at least one month should be scheduled.
The following steps are necessary to establish a connection:
- Make sure you are connected to the internet (network connection) and start the "Parallels Client" application by double-clicking it.
- In the "Connections" tab, the predefined profile “Universität Hohenheim" appears. Open the connection by double-clicking on the profile.
- Enter the username and password of your administration account now. Click the "Connect" button afterwards.
- Generate a password on your token (press the button). Enter this into the input field OTP (One-Time-Password) and then confirm with the button "OK".
- Start the connection with a double click.
The session starts in full-screen mode. You can exit full-screen mode using the menu bar at the top of the screen. If the menu bar bothers you, you can hide it using the pin. The menu bar will automatically reappear when you move the cursor to the location where the bar is normally located. Do not click on the X under any circumstances. This will only disconnect the current session. This can lead to a damaged profile.
Please note that no printers, scanners, or other external devices are provided in for working from home. Printing on the printers in Hohenheim is also possible when working from home.
