  • for more information see https://labs.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/
• connection to the internet via the eduroam Wi-Fi network (login credentials must be set up in the CAS system: Other accounts -> Set password for eduroam realm cuni.cz)

Computer services for faculty, staff, PhD students, guests

  • an e-mail box with the address name@karlin.mff.cuni.cz (webmail, IMAP)

  • VPN (remote access to local network e.g. from home)
• computing cluster (and Git) - see https://cluster.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/ for information and account creation.

Note on security (phishing)

None of the Karlín administrators need to know the password to your account, and they certainly won't ask for it via email. So if you receive an email asking you to provide or enter your login credentials on some (dubious) website (or else all your data will be blocked or deleted within 24 hours), it will most likely be a phishing scam.

The only exception to this is the university's CAS system, which reminds users once a year that their password will expire in 14 days and that they should change it at https://ldapuser.cuni.cz/account/password/nomenu/1. But with the administrator J. Richter or O. Ulrych, you can also change the expired password (or at least extend its validity).

If you are in doubt whether an e-mail message is genuine or whether it is a scam, feel free to contact us (the administrator).
