Notice for students: CiscoVPN Service discontinued

The existing Cisco VPN must be discontinued as of April 29 due to critical security vulnerabilities. To access the library’s electronic journal databases, a VPN is no longer required. Access is possible from anywhere using SSO/MFA. To access file shares (institute shares, home drives), Nextcloud will be available starting April 29.

The following steps are required:

  • Nextcloud will be provided via a web portal. The address (available from April 29) is: https://nextcloud.akbild.ac.at. No software installation is necessary.
  • Login is performed using the familiar single sign-on with multi-factor authentication (like Campus, Webmail, etc).
  • A one-time setup in a few simple steps (approx. 10 minutes) is required. Instructions can be found (starting 29.4.) on the Academy website.
