How to…

Wall network sockets use 802.1x authentication with university credentials.
…learn about university agreements and conventions
Visit the relative page.
…check your payslips
Use the dedicated portal.
…check spam
Unwanted email can be found in the “junk mail” folder of your mailbox.
When you receive a spam message, you can notify the system in the following ways:
- Outlook users can report it using the reporting functions in the “Home” menu;
- Everyone can drag the message into the “Junk Mail” folder to indicate it is unwanted;
- Thunderbird users with IMAP can mark the “Junk Mail” folder as the junk folder and use the application’s built-in tools.
If you notice that a message is missing and cannot be found even in the junk folder, please report it by emailing help.polo2@ticket.unipi.it (cc: help@dm.unipi.it).
…create and promote announcements (conferences, seminars, awards, etc.)
To create an announcement for a conference or seminar to appear on the Department homepage, fill out the dedicated forms available on the Manage platform.
To promote an event or news item on the Department’s social media, write to redazioneweb@dm.unipi.it.
…create a personal webpage
The “Centro di Calcolo” provides a web server that allows you to independently publish HTML pages (e.g., personal pages or pages for conferences and events). The procedure is described on the relevant page.
Alternatively, you can create a personal webpage by connecting to the server pagine.dm.unipi.it via SSH, using your ID (a0xxxxx) as username and your university password. This can be done via terminal using the command: ssh a0xxxxx@pagine.dm.unipi.it or via a graphical file transfer program using: ssh://a0xxxxx@pagine.dm.unipi.it.
You can then create a directory called public_html and place an index.html file inside it containing your main page. The page will be immediately available at: https://pagine.dm.unipi.it/~a0xxxxx/
You can later request a custom alias (to replace ~a0xxxxx) by emailing help.polo2@ticket.unipi.it.
