To access intranet resources, PSI employees outside the PSI must establish a connection via a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
Note: This service can only be used by PSI employees and is not available to external persons. Before using the service for the first time, it must be ordered via the service catalogue (only possible from the PSI network).
By connecting via a VPN, the client system becomes part of the PSI intranet, regardless of its original location. The system appears on the Internet with a PSI address and the data traffic is routed through the PSI firewall.
Therefore, the following rules apply to all users of the VPN software:
Rules
- Users of the VPN Client must adhere to the "Usage and Monitoring of IT Resources at PSI"
- Up-to-date virus/malware protection must be installed on the client system. (e.g. Avira Free Antivirus for home use)
- The client's operating system and the installed applications must be up to date and all available security updates must be installed.
Login via VPN
To log in to PSI via VPN, you need your PSI login data and Microsoft (MS) multi-factor authentication (MFA). You can find help on MS-MFA here.
