All information about VPN, FH ID, 2F on FH Aachen Homepage

The  FH ID contains user name and password for all FH Aachen digital services.

  • All employees receive access via their UAS ID from their first day of work (contract).
  • Students receive their FH ID as part of the welcome process.

You need the ‘Duo’ app on your smartphone:

  1. Download App
  2. connect your device (Anleitung der DVZ)
  3. Call up device management 

What is 2FA?
Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security to your user account. Proving your identity using a second factor (like your mobile phone at the moment) prevents anyone but you from logging in, even if they know your password.

Why do I need this?
Passwords are increasingly easy to reveal. They can often be stolen, guessed or hacked - you may not even know that someone is accessing your account.
Two-factor authentication offers additional security here: your account is still secure even if your password has been compromised. With Duo Push, you receive a notification directly on your smartphone if someone tries to log in with your login details.

The dashboard shows this personal information:

  • Your course and group memberships

If you have received an ILIAS link and log in from the corresponding page, you will be redirected back to the same page after logging in.

ILIAS provides all users with a personal workspace (menu item ‘Space’). This area, as well as the ‘Dialogue’ and ‘Orga’ areas, are anonymous by default and cannot be viewed by other users (including system administrators). Users can authorise releases for other users, courses and groups in these areas themselves.

You will receive e-mails from courses or groups - also automated (e.g. reminders or system messages)
