---+ !!Mac - First Steps at IAC This document will help you to set up your mac in the IAC/ETH environment. Please read it carefully. * Sign in and change the default password of your Macinstosh Computer. Choose a secure one as your keychain is also protected by this password: %BR% The *default user* is always the *ETH username* and the default password is your *’ETH username:the current year'* (e.g. mrbird:2020). Create your MFA (Multi Factor Authentication). If you have not got your password letter, yet, or you do not know your initial password, please contact [[Main.GwendolynRaubal][Gwen]] (or iac-it@env.ethz.ch). * Open https://password.ethz.ch/qrcode * Login with initial password * Take photo or screenshot of QR code (and/or copy code) and store it in a save place! * Open your authenticator app on your mobile(Authy) * Enter QR code (or code). You have now the possibility to login and use MFA (Multi Factor Authentication). * Login to https://password.ethz.ch with initial password and as second authentication the code provided by the authenticator app * In case the login with the initial password does not work, on https://password.ethz.ch click on "Forgot your password?" * Log into your ETH account ([[https://password.ethz.ch/][https://password.ethz.ch/]]). *Immediately enter your password recovery data*. Set the *two* [[IT.EthAccount][passwords]] for the two main password groups: One for mail, eth services, polybox... and the other for VPN, WLAN (Radius server). They have to be different! * To connect to the ETH WLAN (eduroam and eduroam5), please follow these steps [[IT/HowToSetUpEduroamInMacOS][Click here, please!]] * Configure your [[IT.AppleMail][ETHZ email Account]]. * If you plan to work from outside ETH, you will need to [[IT.VpnAccess][configure VPN]]. * To share data you may want to use [[IT.PolyBox][Polybox]] (a Dropbox analog). * [[IT.HowToAddAPIANetworkPrinter][Configure the printer]] closest to your office and maybe a spare one on another floor. * Open the ETH Self Service App (Application Folder) and install programs you would like to have (Firefox, Gimp, "LibreOffice" to name a few) * In case you want to use Office365 applications, you must [[IT.MicrosoftCloud][acquire a Microsoft Cloud Subscription]] first. * You might also want to use an Adobe product. Since these programs are expensive, please consider alternatives like Preview, Adobe Acrobat Reader or Affinity products first, before you order [[IT.AdobeOrder][Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop (Adobe CCD).!]] * If you need another paid program, please contact [[Main.GwendolynRaubal][Gwen]]. I will either make it available in the ETH Self Service app and you can then install it or install it directly on your mac. * You can find more detailed information about IT on [[IT.WebHome][our wiki pages]]. If you need help, do not hesitate to get in contact with me or one of [[IT.GettingHelp][our IT team]] if I am not available. * IAC offers you a 400GB disk space for Time Machine backup. The backup is done over the network. If you want to backup your most precious folders, please contact [[http://www.iac.ethz.ch/people/graubal][Gwen Raubal]], to activate the service. *For any other or additional questions concerning ETH and IT, have a look at the ETH [[https://unlimited.ethz.ch/display/itkb/First+Steps][First Steps - IT Knowledge Base]]* Please let me know if you find any errors in this documentation so I can keep it up-to-date.
