Using the Element webclient

Start here: https://matrix.tu-dresden.de

Start page of Element Webclient with login button

No registration is necessary, the service can be used immediately by clicking on "Register" on the homepage https://matrix.tu-dresden.de.

Login window with request to enter ZIH login and password

The drop-down menu "Log in with:" should be left at "User name". Then the following entries must be made:

Username: ZIH-Login (only the ZIH-Login, no e-mail address!)

Password: ZIH password

An alternative login, e.g. using the e-mail address, is NOT possible during the first, initial login, only after the second login.

After the first login there is also no e-mail / confirmation mail.

Analogous to e-mail addresses, this results in matrix addresses with the following structure:

@ZIH-Login:tu-dresden.de
