Computer accounts at our Institute and at the university
Basically, you have 2 different computer accounts for 2 different IT structures:
It is important to read both mail accounts!
Please configure some forwarding from one account to the other.
- one from the central IT department (URZ) for all university services
- one for the local services of our institute and faculty
It is important to read both mail accounts!
Please configure some forwarding from one account to the other.
University account
-
Your university account is of the form
xy12abcde@uni-leipzig.de
. -
Use it for all central services of the university including:
- EduRoam Wireless LAN
- Moodle, AlmaWeb,
- Media computers in lecture rooms,
- VPN, university cloud "Speicherwolke" etc.
-
This account includes a mail address of the form
firstname.lastname@uni-leipzig.de
. You can access this mail account e.g. by the central web mailer mail.uni-leipzig.de. -
Some of those services (EduRoam, Moodle, media computer)
expect the long form of the user name with
the
@uni-leipzig.de
part, but some (AlmaWeb, web mail) need the short form without this part. - Any questions about the university account should be directed to the URZ Servicedesk
Institute account
- Your account at the institute of mathematics looks like an lowercase ASCII version of your last name.
- It is used for services inside the institute or faculty, e.g.,

- Login to some of our Webservices like BigBlueButton,
- Adding events to our Web calendar, etc...

The 'classical' form
