Access to Compute network via AITs Cisco VPN service with the anyconnect client

You get access to general DTU services and if your primary affiliation at DTU is with DTU Compute, you get access to DTU Compute network as well.

You may also use OpenVPN, but this does not work on IOS devices like Ipads.

Setup on Ipad

Download app

Go to Appstore on your device and download the following app: "Cisco AnyConnect"

Now open the "Cisco AnyConnect" app. If a window appears asking for permission to enable the software, click "OK". Go to the left side of the screen and select "Add VPN connection..." . In the window that appears, select "Server Address" and type: "vpn.ait.dtu.dk", then click "Save" in the top right corner. Back in the main window, go to the top left corner and move the switch at "AnyConnect VPN" from "OFF" to "ON". In the window that appears set the following values: Username: Your DTU username (same as for Portalen) Password: Your DTU password Now click "Connect" and exit the app.

Access Windows host with Remote Desktop

Go to Appstore on your device and download the following app: "Microsoft remote desktop" (this is free, but there are several other remote desktop apps). Open the "Microsoft remote desktop" app and click "New Remote Desktop". In the pop-up window click "PC name" and type:

the address of the windows host you want to access like winterm.compute.dtu.dk or comp-mypc.compute.dtu.dk.

Click "Save". Now click "User name" and set the following values:

Username: Your DTU Compute username
Password: Your DTU Compute password

Then click "Save". Click "Save" again to return to the main window. Now the IP address of your remote desktop has appeared together with your username under the heading "Remote Desktops". Click on your IP address and select "Connect always". In the "Logon" window select "Password" and type: Your DTU Compute password. Select "Logon".
