Guests in the WLAN

Setup of logins for guests in the Wireless LAN of TU Dresden

It is now possible for TU Dresen members to setup WLAN logins for their guests. The run of validity is maximum 30 days. Only the unencrypted radio network VPN/WEB can be used. The guest logins have to be in the form loginname@gast. Duplications will be recognized automatically and refused. The password has to be at least 8 characters in length and has to consist of alphanumeric symbols, hyphen and underscore. After creating the guest login, you can print the accessibility description for you guest.

The IT Regulations is suitable for the use of guest logins.

In order to create a guest login, you need to have a ZIH login. We are saving the mappings between ZIH logins and guest logins.

Using the Radio Network

Please search for the radio network VPN/WEB. The network is only accessible via this. Connect with this radio network. If you call up a web page in your web browser, the login dialog will appear. Type in your guest login and password and click on Login. Now you can use the internet connection.

There are the following restrictions and hints:

• server services cannot be provided
• there are no connections to the Windows Data Approval
• use port 587 for mail delivery via SMTP
• data transfer happens unencrypted and could be eavesdropped; however, you could use your own encryption systems (e.g. ssh, https, VPN)

Set up guest access

You can set up WLAN guest accesses via the self-service portal and therefore have to agree to the terms of use for WLAN guest access.
