Tunneling


If you have an account either on phys (Lowtemp) or dupond (BRU), you can use it for accessing journals and LTL internal web pages when away from office. If you need only journals, be aware of TKK's Lib-proxy service.

NOTE: The Virtual Private Network is more convenient to use, and is recommended over SSH tunnelling.

Making a new seminar announcement

Go to https://localhost:8080/seminars/

Using the vacation calendar

Go to https://localhost:8080/calendar/

Registering achievements

Go to an internal page via our wiki, e.g. to https://ltl.tkk.fi/wiki/Registration_of_achievements_for_the_LTL_personnel (wiki also needs login).

Then select one topic, e.g. E4) Editor of a scientific journal. You will see in the browser an address

https://db.ltl.hut.fi/achievements/E4_editor.php

where you should change the text db.ltl.hut.fi to localhost:8080, to make the address look like

https://localhost:8080/achievements/E4_editor.php

Voilà! Now you can read and edit these pages! A little bit complicated but doable.
