This repository contains commands and configs I found useful regarding the use ofUniversity services. Some of these may be distro-specific so your mileage may vary.
Mentions of<student id> refer to the UM username, e.g.i6123456 including thei.
Below is a config fornetctl that works with Eduroam.
/etc/netctl/wlp3s0-eduroam
Description='eduroam'Connection=wirelessInterface=wlp3s0Security=wpa-configsectionESSID=eduroamTimeoutWPA=10IP=dhcpWPAConfigSection=('ssid="eduroam"''proto=WPA2''key_mgmt=WPA-EAP''eap=PEAP''phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"''identity="<student id>@unimaas.nl"''password="<password>"')OpenConnect can be used toconnect to the University VPN, for instance to gain access to journals.
Installation on Arch:
sudo pacman -S openconnectInstallation on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint:
sudo apt-get install openconnectHaving installed it simply run:
sudo openconnect vpn.maastrichtuniversity.nl -u <student id>Type in your password, and you're in!
Alternatively, you may useEZproxy fromwithin your browser for access to literature as describedhere.
You can also useCisco Anyconnect software to connect it via a graphical interface as explained in theICT manual
The University file service is accessible withSamba. Note that it seems you need tobe physically present and connected to the university Eduroam to make use of the fileservices.
You can usesmbclient to get a list of network drives:
smbclient -L mfs.maastrichtuniversity.nl -U <student id>You may use CIFS (e.g. installcifs-utils on Arch) to mount the drives directly.In order to mount your private drive directory in/media/unimaas/userdata run:
# Create a mountpointsudo mkdir -p /media/unimaas/userdata# Mount itsudo mount -t cifs //mfs.maastrichtuniversity.nl/users/students/<student id>/data /media/unimaas/userdata -o username=<student id>@unimaas.nl,vers=2.0,uid=$(id -u),gid=$(id -g)More information may be found in theICTS Manual - UM drivemappings.
Like any other platform, you can download theHorizon Client and access to your Student Desktop Anywhere. Careful tho, it's Windows.
