Here you will find instructions on how to do some of the more common computing tasks.
Certificates
We used to rely on our own unsigned SSL certificates for Math web servers and e-mail but as of recently we have replaced them with ipsCA's signed certificates. ipsCA is generously providing high quality free SSL certificates to educational institutions.
All recent browsers and e-mail clients have appropriate root certificate that can be used to verify identity of our servers. Therefore no additional importing of certificates should be required. If you encounter any problems with our SSL certificates please let us know (like if your browser or e-mail client cannot recognize or verify our SSL certificate).
Connect to Math/PACM systems remotely
- Connect to login servers via ssh from Windows, Mac OS X or Linux (also copy files back and forth by using ssh/scp)
E-mail access and configuration
- Configure Thunderbird 2.* on Math Linux workstations
- Configure Thunderbird 2.* in general
- Configure Thunderbird 3.* in general
- Read your e-mail in your web browser by using Horde/IMP webmail
- E-mail configuration for Outlook 2007 in general
- E-mail configuration for Mac OS X in general
File restore/undelete/backup/snapshots
- How to restore deleted files or previous versions on Linux from home directory on Math/PACM file server (for files deleted or changed within last 4 days)
- How to obtain files from backups (for files deleted or changed more than 4 days ago and usually not more than 3-4 months ago)
Printing
- [[HowTos:Configure MacOSX for Dell W5300n|How to configure your Macintosh for printing with the Dell printers on 11th and 5th floor (W5300n)
- How to configure your Macintosh for printing to one of Fine Hall printers
- How to configure your Microsoft Windows computer for printing to public printers in Fine Hall
