UPDATE (09:40h) : all wifi services are fully restored by now.

We are currently experiencing a total loss of WiFi authentication inside the whole building of the Computer Science Dept. and the B-IT due to a failure of a central component.

We are already working on a solution to the problem. Unfortunately we cannot predict how long these repairs will take. Due to the nature of the problem, it could be a longer process.

Other services are not affected by the disruption.

There are new versions (V9) of all transponder forms available (German only). If you have saved the forms locally, please replace them with the current versions. You can find those as usual on our homepage: Transponder

We are unable to print your posters at the moment due to defective hardware in our poster plotter. Please utilize the similar service from the University IT and Data Center.

Update (2022-10-05): the plotter has been repaired, we resumed top provide our plotting services.

In order to reduce power consumption, the publicly accessible Pool PCs are automatically shut down over night, from 8 p.m. CEST to 8 a.m. CEST.
More information can be found on the Pool remote access page.

UPDATE 2022-07-25: the certificate was successfully replaced.

As the current certificate used for our wifi authentication services is about to expire, we will be updating to a new certificate soon. Your operating system could be set up to notify you about this for security reasons. If this happens, you can safely accept the new certificate and make sure it is the right one by comparing the certificate fingerprints to the ones issued on our wifi documentation page.

Update: The e-mail-service is restored.
The email addresses @informatik, @cs and @bit are affected. The problem is being worked on.

After the last Update of the matrix Service, some users may have experienced problems logging into out matrix service. This problem is now fixed. Existing sessions were not affected by this problem.

As we are trying to further accomodate incoming support requests especially from students, we added a new chat function to this page to give you an opportunity to request aid directly from us without the need for a physical helpdesk. If this service is maintainable, we will try to implement it into other central services (like i.e. WUMI).

If you want to use the chat, just click on the blue bar on the bottom right part of the page footer.
