Set up your LMU accounts/internet for computer use

When you begin, see Wildner (C0) or Singer (F0) to get logins for the LMU mail service, EZProxy, eduroam, and Scifinder registration; there's also a link to the LRZ proxy settings for your browser, so it knows when to re-route through LMU. You receive from us your group-access logins to the chemical inventory, the campuswide chemical search, and group server (you'll also get your black transponder, white access card, and barcode "buying card" through us). Ask until you get all of them, and if you have any issues.

LMU Mail, CampusLMU, VPN, Eduroam, EZProxy... what now?

These are different accounts/authorisations that you need to get (see also here).
Note: you have three different logins for different services: a CUP login (eg mamuph) for things at the Faculty (mail, analytics, etc); a CampusLMU login (eg Mia.Musterfrau@lmu.de) for LMU centralised services (library/journals, LMU-Portal, etc); and an LRZ Kennung (eg pi91rst) for Bavaria-wide / international networks.

In order:

  • CUP LMU Email: when you arrive, you should get a computer printout with your mail account details; the secretary has this, or else you can go get it at the computer service office (F0, Singer and Veith).
    (a) In the browser, login to your mail account and reset your user/password if desired.
    (b) Then, setup a mail client to manage your email, organise it with folders, apply rules, etc: the LMU mail server system Roundcube has bad organisation and ungainly formatting, and you will lose track of your emails otherwise. Recommend: download and install Thunderbird. There is a mail client setup guide here through the CUP internal EDV; see also the CIP guide to Using Software.
    (c) Also use that printout to register SciFinder (details on the sheet).

  • CampusLMU account: This is a user/password login system that you can use to authenticate your browser session as LMU whenever you are outside the LAN network, eg. when you want to browse journals online from home and download papers. With some journals/sites you need it even if you are inside our LAN. You also need this account to authenticate your download/installation/setup of VPN and Eduroam, to get started there. Get a CampusLMU account ASAP! You have to email helpdesk@campus.lmu.de from your CUP webmail address, or else tel: 089 2180 3555. Say who you are and ask for a CampusLMU account. You are then emailed your username and an initial password, go and set your real password (suggest: use same as your mail account).

  • EZProxy: This browser proxy system lets you get papers from the LMU's journal subscriptions, from any IP location, with a single click (and authenticates you as LMU-internal from anywhere, for other purposes eg analytics submissions). Create a new bookmark, give it the web address javascript:if(location.href.indexOf('emedien')%20==%20-1)void(location.href='http://emedien.ub.uni-muenchen.de/login?url='+location.href) ; and name it EZProxy. Click it from any journal page to log in and pull papers (NB there are no spaces in the web address).

  • VPN: This is a connection system that allows you to authenticate as being within the secured LMU network from anywhere around the world. You'll need to have it installed and running, in order to use most LMU-connecting clients (sending email; FileZilla; LRZ Sync) unless you are physically plugged into LAN at the LMU (workstations). You also use it to log on to wireless eduroam internet from many hotspots around the university, in Munich, and worldwide; as well as the alternative Munich network of lrz hotspots.
    The VPN client since 2021 is eduVPN. Use it on laptop, smartphone, and workstation. (1) Install, (2) open it, select LMU configuration, (3) you are connected to VPN for 90 days at a time (autorenewal). In case of problems see Christoph Singer at computer services, F0.

  • Eduroam WLAN: This is a wireless internet system that works worldwide. Any time you travel to another uni in the network, you can log on to their internet using your Eduroam account. You need to have your CampusLMU user/password created and to have logged into CampusLMU via browser once to confirm. Then in the CampusLMU system you will see how to set up Eduroam (or, Google it). In brief:
    (a) go to the LMU Portal and login. At top right, go to Benutzerkonto and then Email Einstellungen and you will see your LRZ Kennung.
    (b) Your eduroam username looks like pi12pik@eduroam.mwn.de if your LRZ Kennung is pi12pik. The password is the same as usual.
    (c) Then you can use this to log in with your laptop, phone, everything to any Eduroam network around the world.

  • Other WLAN networks: there are also BayernWLAN and LRZ WLAN networks - see here. By default use eduroam; but having added the others will help sometimes.

Smartphone/iPad Quick Setup Guide 2021

  • You'll need to have set up your accounts for CampusLMU, LMU Email, Eduroam as above using your laptop or workstation (ie your accounts are approved for you to connect to).
  • (1) Install eduVPN on your phone/tablet, and use it to connect to the VPN: so your phone is authorised within LMU (applies to both mobile data and WLAN connections).
  • (2) With VPN connected, you can add your LMU mail account (CUP setup guide) to the mail client your phone/tablet uses (eg Mail by default on Mac).
  • (3) Add the wireless networks eduroam, BayernWLAN, and LRZ in that priority order (CUP guide).
  • You can always receive incoming mail. To send mail though, you need to either (A) leave eduVPN running in the background; or (B) goto Settings / Mail / Accounts / LMU / select the account you added (IMAP), then click Outgoing Server / Primary Server and change hostname to applin.cup.uni-muenchen.de, type your username and password, have "Use SSL" on, select Authentication method as Password, set server port to 2525, then click Done, navigate back, click Done.

Getting new WLAN access points

(1) Installation zusätzlicher Access points durch beantragung eines WLAN-Accesspoints beim LRZ: dieser wird vom LRZ aber nur in öffentlichen Bereichen mit Studentenbetrieb kostenlos bereit gestellt, ansonsten kostet der Access Point ca 800 €. https://doku.lrz.de/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=35160915
Service Request für zusätzlichen Access Point: https://servicedesk.lrz.de/de/simplesubmit#create (Bei Service-Baum Netz -> Erweiterte WLAN Versorgung auswählen)
(2) Regeln zum Betrieb von eigenen Access points: https://doku.lrz.de/display/PUBLIC/Regeln+zum+Betrieb+von+Institutseigenen+WLANs z.B. Fritz!Box 4040, ca 80€, hier gelten wiederum die Regeln des LRZ: https://doku.lrz.de/display/PUBLIC/Regeln+zum+Betrieb+von+Institutseigenen+WLANs
Die Fritz!Box könnte Christoph Singer bestellen und in Betrieb nehmen.

Outdated:

Intranet access: Talk to Jörg Pabel about "external" authorisation to connect your laptop to the Wanner hub via an "external" or "patched" ethernet port ("internal" authorisation is for fixed workstations with a higher security level to access the departmental filesystem). Mac laptop users need to use Manual Network settings and the IP, DNS, router addresses Jörg assigned (see Settings and Addresses). Win laptop users have to install an antivirus and firewall and show a clean result of a full scan, or you won't get access. To get access to ethernet within other buildings, bring your laptop (and Ethernet adapter if you use one) down to the computer service office, and ask for auths for each building you'll be connecting to (typically, Haus C, K, and F).
