Accounts

User account on our servers

If you need a user account on our servers, ask your supervisor (must be a professor of the ESCER Centre) to send an email to Katja Winger (winger.katja@uqam.ca) with your full name, email address (preferably UQAM email address) and status (intern, master, PhD, PostDoc, RA, ...). In case Katja is absent, ask your supervisor to fill out the following form:

    https://scta.uqam.ca/non-classe/1156

Follow the instructions on the following site:

    Apply for an Alliance account or new role

VPN (virtual private network) account

Fill out the following form:

    https://scta.uqam.ca/creation-de-compte-pour-vpn-uqam

When connecting from outside out firewall, using UQAM's VPN will enable you to connect to our internal servers directly, without connecting via one of the hoppies. Downside, one will get disconnected after a few hours.

Connection to our servers

If you have trouble connecting to our servers from your PC, laptop, Mac, etc. have a look at the following page:

If you cannot find there what you are looking for, send an email to Katja (winger.katja@uqam.ca) with the following information - if applicable:

• Which server are you trying to connect to?
• Are you just having display problems (can't open a window on the servers) or can you not even connect to the servers?
• From which OS are you trying to connect, Windows, MaxOS or Linux?
      If you are using Windows, are you using WSL to connect? If not, how are you trying to connect?
• Are you connecting from inside UQAM (connected via cable to the internet on the 6st or 7th floor of the PK) or from outside?
      If you are connecting from outside are you using the VPN or are you connecting via one of the hoppies?
      If the latter, which hoppy are you using?
