Accounts

To access the various computing services, a number of accounts are needed, which come from different providers. Roughly, they can be grouped as follows:

The Linux account of the faculty of mathematics gives access to the Linux desktops and all other computing services of the faculty. This includes everything in the zone math.uni-bielefeld.de, in particular:

  • access to the Linux desktop computers in the offices of the faculty
  • a mailbox in the domain @math.uni-bielefeld.de, including webmail access
  • a personal web site with address of the form https://www.math.uni-bielefeld.de/~username/
  • a GitLab server for the collaborative developement and management of source code (programs, LaTeX documents)
  • remote access to your Linux account

The creation of Linux accounts for employees and guests is arranged by the secretariats. Instructors needing accounts for all participants of a class are requested to arrange for a bulk order - please contact root sufficiently in advance. Students of the faculty may also get a Linux account from root (please provide your matriculation number).

Accounts for services provided by BITS are managed in the PRISMA portal. For students and employees, a prisma account is created automatically, and equipped with accounts for a number of standard services, including:

  • an AD account, giving access to Windows computers, the BITS mailbox with address @uni-bielefeld.de, ...
  • an Eduroam/VPN account (wifi access, remote access to the university network)
  • a web password, giving access to the PRISMA portal, many web services, the library, zoom, sciebo cloud storage, internal web pages,....

Further, in the PRISMA portal you can order your UniCard. For the inital loging to PRISMA, a link is usually sent to you. You can then set further passwords in PRISMA. If necessary, root can also set a new PRISMA password for you.

If you need a PRISMA account as a guest scientist, please contact root.

 

Students and employees are automatically provided with an eKVV / BIS / PEVZ account, to which you can log in with your matriculation number / UniID / BITS-UserID and the web password as access data.

Some of these services, in particular those for instructors, require a BIS account with extended rights. For those you need, in addition to the PRISMA account, also a corresponding entry in the PEVZ directory, including your email address. This is usually arranged for by your secretariat.

If necessary, external employees and guests can obtain a PRISMA account from root, and then a PEVZ entry via your secretariat.
