The IT Center, as the central IT service provider of RWTH Aachen University, offers a number of continuing education and information events. Unfortunately, since last year, due to COVID-19, barely any events can take place or have been replaced by an online format. We used the time gained by this to build a brand new, clearly arranged website for you, which informs you at a glance about all events around the IT Center.

At the IT Center, everything is about technology – but what is behind it in detail?

“Keeping order is not difficult. Cleaning up, on the other hand, is very difficult.” That’s kind of the saying, isn’t it? No matter how you spin the proverb, this principle applies not only to children’s rooms and closets, it also applies to our digital memories, and many people are not yet aware of this. Just because we can’t touch digitized data doesn’t mean it doesn’t waste space or energy. In Germany, around 66 percent of the data held is “dark” and lies below the surface of users’ consciousness. Read this article to find out what this is all about.

Securely connected? A look at the URL and a click on the lock symbol will show you!

“The connection is secure” – These words contain a short but revealing piece of information. A valid certificate for a website indicates if it has a secure connection and sensitive data, such as passwords or bank data, are transmitted in a protected environment – this is also the case with RWTH Single Sign-On. The certificate for sso.rwth-aachen.de has now been replaced, as the existing one expires on July 28, 2021. Have you noticed this? Some services were temporarily unavailable during the changeover, but are now running again. We’ll show you why it’s worth taking a look at the certificate and what you should keep in mind when using the RWTH Single Sign-On. Read the rest of this entry »

Fortunately, this is not a problem at all because there is the possibility to set a new password before logging into the RWTH Single Sign-On or to have the username sent to you.
