With the eToken, login does not take place using a username and password, but via a certificate stored on a special USB stick and a PIN that is independent of the password. <br /><br />Once the USB token with the certificate is in possession and the PIN is known, it is possible to log in. The password is not entered or transmitted and therefore cannot be intercepted and misused by an attacker.<br /><br />If you have one or more IT administration accounts or accounts requiring special protection, you can register your demand for an eToken using the linked questionnaire until Nov. 30.<br /><br /><a href="https://sso.uni-muenster.de/LearnWeb/learnweb2/mod/feedback/view.php?id=3126818&lang=en">https://sso.uni-muenster.de/LearnWeb/learnweb2/mod/feedback/view.php?id=3126818&lang=en</a><br /><br />You only need one eToken, even if you want to protect several of your accounts.<br /><br />In this way, we would like to determine the demand and pass on a quantity estimate for the various types to the CIT for procurement.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">{1e752be6-8969a910-3fa5453e-19eb0d88}</guid><pubDate>Wed, 21 Feb 2024 10:35:25 +0100</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maintenance work on the COMSOL license server]]></title><description><![CDATA[Due to a Comsol version update, maintenance work will be carried out on Tuesday, 14.11.2023 from approx. 07:00 a.m. and the license server will therefore not be available.<br>We assume that the work will be completed by 09:00 a.m.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">{7c9b224c-624fd890-cf743f1f-7916d336}</guid><pubDate>Wed, 21 Feb 2024 10:35:25 +0100</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[New license period for Serif Affinity All Apps (Designer, Photo, Publisher) starts on 10/13/2023]]></title><description><![CDATA[On Friday, 10/13/2023 a new license year for the Serif Affinity All Apps (Designer, Photo, Publisher) will start.<br /><br />For the old version 1 we did not get any new license keys, so to continue using Affinity it is now necessary to switch to the version 2 apps: Designer 2, Photo 2, Publisher 2.<br /><br />For version 2 there are new license files and a version update to 2.2.0 available.<br /><br />For macOS the installation sources are available on the Dfs under Software\Admin\Affinity\macOS.<br /><br />For the Windows version, updated deployments will not be available in ConfigMgr (MECM, SCCM) until next week due to vacations.
