Unified Login ID for Network Connection and 2FA Protection Extends to CUHK VPN (Classroom Network)

Unified Login ID for WiFi/VPN/ResNet Connection

To improve your use experience, we are now standardizing the Login ID (username) for wifi/ResNet/VPN connections by using

  • name@cuhk.edu.hk (staff or project accounts) and
  • student-id@link.cuhk.edu.hk (student account), computing-id@link.cuhk.edu.hk (project account)

Once implemented, you can use either your email address or Computing ID as the Login ID in these services. Furthermore, the support of only email address could be used as Login ID in Wifi/ VPN / ResNet connections would be announced in due course.

2FA Protection Extends to CUHK VPN (Classroom Network)

Starting from 17 May 2021, when using Central Classroom PC to access the campus network, you must provide DUO 2FA after your password authentication for security enhancement.
