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 (guest or employe) at DTU is with DTU Compute, you get access to the DTU Compute network as well.

You may also use OpenVPN, but this does not work on IOS devices like Ipads. On most android devices Cisco VPN does not work.

This is a detailed description for use on Ipads. (DTU AIT has a description of the VPN service for use in the administration which you can also have a look at),

Setup on Windows

• Go to https://vpn.ait.dtu.dk and logon with std. DTU credentials
• In the menu to the left, select AnyConnect
• Follow the instructions and install the client.
• Once you connect, connect to the server vpn.ait.dtu.dk using std. DTU credentials [Update related to Corona: if vpn.ait.dtu.dk does not work try extra-vpn.ait.dtu.dk

Setup on Ipad/Iphone

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 on Ipad

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 username
Password: Your DTU 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 the remote computer and select "Connect always". In the "Logon" window select "Password" and type: Your DTU password. Select "Logon".
