Ge­ne­ral se­cu­ri­ty in­for­ma­ti­on

Many de­vices and ope­ra­ting sys­tems al­low you to con­nect to the wire­less net­work wi­t­hout che­cking the se­cu­ri­ty cer­ti­fi­ca­te. The­re­fo­re, plea­se car­ry out all the steps listed in the in­st­ruc­tions to the end, as this is the only way to en­su­re that your per­so­nal ac­cess data is pro­tec­ted from being spied out by third par­ties.

If you are un­su­re about the com­ple­te set­up on your end de­vice, plea­se set up the Wi-Fi again if in doubt. We will be hap­py to help you with this.

Plea­se also note that when using edu­ro­am, your per­so­nal ac­cess data will ne­ver be re­quested via a web page in your brow­ser.

Data pro­tec­tion on mo­bi­le de­vices

Plea­se con­fi­gu­re the au­to­ma­tic back­up of your end de­vices so that the per­so­nal ac­cess data of your HfMDK ac­count (user­na­me and pass­word) are not stored on the ser­vers of the de­vice ma­nu­fac­tu­rer/sys­tem pro­vi­der (Goog­le, Ap­ple, etc.). Other­wi­se, this crea­tes se­rious se­cu­ri­ty risks! This sto­rage is also ex­tre­me­ly pro­ble­ma­tic in terms of data pro­tec­tion law.
