[staff-physics-and-astronomy-HL-UHD-UD] SciStor 2.0 | MFA via EduVPN

[Dahlberg, J.D. (Jordi)]

Hi all,
Please find a message on Scistor below
Best,

Dear Sir/Madam,

We would like to inform you about a change in the usage of SciStor.


Why are we updating SciStor?
The previous SciStor system was outdated and due for an update. At the same time, demand for faster data processing and the need to storehighly or very highly confidential classified data is growing. That's why we're now offering SciStor 2.0: faster, more secure, and more reliable, so your work can continue smoothly in the future. To take the next step in improving information security, it will become mandatory to use SciStor with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). EduVPN Institute Access is required for this.
This will take effect from March 9th.

What is EduVPN Institute Access?
EduVPN allows you to connect to the VU network securely and easily, accessing our institution's protected systems. With EduVPN, you set up a Virtual Private Network (VPN) that encrypts network traffic. This ensures you can always connect securely.

  *   Find the EduVPN software at Get started with eduVPN | SURF.nl <https://www.surf.nl/aan-de-slag-met-eduvpn> .
  *   Make sure Institute Access is selected:

  *   Institute Access uses MFA; when establishing the VPN connection, you will also need to complete the MFA steps. This works the same way as in other VU systems that use MFA, such as the Service Portal.

When will this happen?
Starting March 9th, EduVPN Institute Access will be required to access SciStor data. This is already possible. We therefore recommend that you don't wait until March 9th and start using EduVPN Institute Access as soon as possible.

Kind regards,
The SciStor 2.0 project team
