 Each time to sit at your desk and want to login on the main screen(s) of your desktop computer, you need to authenticate yourself to the system. This too will be converted to two-factor authentication. We currently have a test setup and will investigate its stability and user friendliness before it will be rolled out to all desktops and VNC login screens. You will be informed well in advance when this change will be implemented system wide.  Each time to sit at your desk and want to login on the main screen(s) of your desktop computer, you need to authenticate yourself to the system.

 We are evaluating the current VPN setups at the different institutes, STRW, Physics and Institute Lorentz. The currently different implementation can best be interated to one service. Once that is done two-factor authetication will also be introduced here. We are evaluating the current VPN setups at the different institutes, STRW, Physics and Institute Lorentz.

 =====TBD (near future): Mail Client access===== =====TBD (near future): Mail Client access=====
 When you run your own mail client program, you are effectively autheticating yourself for each read and write operation to you mailbox folders. This is done through the ''%%imap%%'' and ''%%smtp%%'' protocols. We currently have a test environment setup to debug any problems introduced by 2FA on these protocols. When we are confident that this test server is ready for production, the configuration will be copied to the production mail server. It is at this moment unclear on what timescale this will happen. When you run your own mail client program, you are effectively autheticating yourself for each read and write operation to you mailbox folders.
