Regional University Computing Center Kaiserslautern-Landau

Reminder: Access to Seafile via Shibboleth Landau will be blocked on 1.4.2023

Dear employees, dear students at the Landau site,

 

With reference to the circular mail of 8.2.2023, we would like to point out once again that from 1.4.2023 access to Seafile via Shibboleth will no longer be possible for users with an ID of the former University of Koblenz-Landau.

Please make sure that you transfer your data within Seafile to your RPTU account as soon as possible, see handouts:

https://www.urz.uni-landau.de/dienstleistungen/speicherloesungen/seafile/migration-kola-rptu

 

Please note that from April 1, 2023, you will only be able to access Seafile with your personal RPTU account. Your Uni-Landau ID can no longer be used for this purpose. You will no longer have access to data in Seafile that is stored under it.

 

To clear up any misunderstandings that have already arisen:

  • Nextcloud will not be shut down on April 1, 2023!!!
    Nextcloud is not scheduled to be shut down until mid-2023.
  • However, due to the age of the Nextcloud infrastructure, a complete failure of the service without the possibility of data recovery can occur unexpectedly at any time. We therefore strongly recommend that you migrate your data from Nextcloud to Seafile as soon as possible.
  • To ensure that the migration was successful, we would like to ask you to check the data for completeness after the migration and then delete it from Nextcloud.

 

Please also read the circular email from 8.2.2023 again carefully!

 

The cut-off date 1.4.2023 only affects users with a Uni-Landau account within Seafile. It is necessary that you transfer your data within Seafile from your Uni-Landau account to your RPTU account.

 

If you need assistance with the transfer to your RPTU account, we will be happy to help you. Simply contact the IT support team at: rz-support@rptu.de
