Element Web
Start here: https://matrix.tu-dresden.de
No registration is necessary, the service can be used immediately by clicking on “Register” on the homepage https://matrix.tu-dresden.de.
The drop-down menu “Log in with:” should be left at “User name”. Then the following entries must be made:
Username: ZIH-Login (only the ZIH-Login, no e-mail address!)
Password: ZIH password
An alternative login, e.g. using the e-mail address, is NOT possible during the first, initial login, only after the second login.
After the first login there is also no e-mail / confirmation mail.
Analogous to e-mail addresses, this results in matrix addresses with the following structure:
@ZIH-Login:tu-dresden.de
If you want to start immediately with a Matrix Client instead of the above mentioned website (Element Web-App installed at TU Dresden), it is important to change the home server from the usually default matrix.org to https://matrix.tu-dresden.de (shown in the following three screenshots)
- click on change
- mark the preset home server address and remove it
- entry of the matrix home server address of the TU Dresden
