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.
