The operation, maintenance, future grant applications and positive evaluation of core facilities heavily depend on proper acknowledgement and recognition in publications. Every facility user publishing data is kindly asked to give the LIC proper acknowledgment. In the linked PDF you can find some general guidelines and examples.
LIC Domain user accounts in the ZBSA domain have a strict password policy in place. For this reason you have to renew / change your password on a regular basis because passwords will expire after 180 days. If you log-in on our LIC computers you will get a prompt in advance. If you only use services like the booking calendar or any other remote authentication against the ZBSA/LIC domain you won’t get any prompt at all.
Since your user account is also bound to our facility booking system (and other services), you can’t book any equipment or access any of our data storage and computers once your password expired. Due to our security policy you can’t change your password within the booking calendar or any other authentication service. The good news is: You can change your password on any LIC computer at any time, even if it is already expired.
We set-up a new system for our users which allows them to change their password remotely. You can use the following link (please check the How-To guide first) to renew your password remotely. Please note: For security reasons this will only work within the network of Freiburg University and in some cases the Universitätsklinikum Freiburg. For external access, like for many other internal services, you have to use a VPN client to connect to the university network (eduroam) first (see VPN access).
Please note:
Due to security restrictions within the network of the Universitätsklinikum Freiburg, you might not be able to access the remote service at the LIC facility. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about this issue, since connections are blocked by the firewall of the Universitätsklinikum. In some cases you can bypass the restrictions by establishing a VPN (eduroam) connection to the internal network of Freiburg University first.
