Mobil work in the university administration

If you do not already have a laptop, you can send an informal email to have your existing desktop computer replaced with a laptop equipped with a docking station. The laptop can be used in your home office or while on the go (mobile work). Security measures prevent malware from being downloaded onto the laptop from outside the administrative network. A VPN connection is required to access emails or drives on the administrative network.

To establish a connection, follow these steps:

1. Make sure you are connected to the Internet (network connection).
2. Launch the VPN client (Cisco Secure Client).
3. Enter vpn.uni-hohenheim.de as the server and click Connect.
4. For the Group, select VERW-VPN.
5. For Username, enter the username of your Hohenheim user account.
6. For Password, enter the corresponding password for your Hohenheim user account.
7. For 2FA Token or Second Password, enter the current value of the 2FA token.
8. Click OK to log in.

Please note that printers, scanners, and other external devices are not provided for use while working from home. However, you can still print to the networked printers in Hohenheim even while working from home.

Upon request, it is possible to access the e-mail box while on the road. A VPN connection (Hohenheim user account) is required for this. The use will be set up upon request. Only iPhones, iPads or laptops are available as mobile devices.

Participation in video or audio conferences is also possible with private devices (smartphone, tablet, desktop computer or phone).
