Services

Account Creation

To gain access the online services, students need valid access credentials for the services in which they have an account at ISCTE-IUL.

The access credentials are composed of a username and password, in which "Username" corresponds the username associated with the user with @iscte-iul.pt at the end. For example: user@iscte-iul.pt.

Each user is responsible for their own credentials (not repeating passwords from personal accounts or others). The SIIC never ask for these.

See here the requirements which your password must obey.

WIRELESS NETWORK

Iscte’s wireless network is a part of the eduroam network and can be used by any member of any institution that makes up a part of this network. In the same way, when members of Iscte visit other higher education institutions in the eduroam network in Portugal or abroad, they will be able to access their wireless networks without altering the configuration of their equipment.

The configuration of mobile devices, such as iPhones, iPads or Androids, with the SSID "EDUROAM" can be done with the credentials for accessing services at Iscte (username and password).

For other mobile devices, there is an auto-configuration mode. Details on this mode can be found in the instructions at https://cat.eduroam.org/ (students and other community members should select the option Iscte).

For more information see the SIIC website here.
In case of difficulty contact us.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

Students can access the resources of Iscte from home through VPN (Virtual Private Networking), which establishes a secure tunnel connection between the personal computer and the network of Iscte.

By establishing a private virtual connection (VPN), the home computer behaves as if it were physically connected to Iscte. This way, a student can access to services whose subscription depends on the access happening at an IP address assigned to Iscte.

Among these services, one may find access to the content of many scientific research publications through the service b-on (of FCCN) and various databases.

One can also access other services, such as remote desktop, through the configuration of the Iscte VPN.

This tool can support pedagogical models developed in a technologically advanced work environment, which enables strong interaction between professor(s) and student(s), promoting collaborative learning as a method of acquiring and evaluating knowledge.
