7 The ITO has its own credentials for students and employees. There are 2 different kinds of credentials, one for informatics and for mathematics students/employees. Please note, that the CIT credentials are not the same as the credentials you use to log in to TUMOnline. You can get your credentials as:
8
9 * a student per email after your matriculation
10 * an employee from your chair IT-administrator during the hiring process
11 * Guests or assistants after being hired by the chair administrator
12 Below is an overview of the different credentials for a ficticious Max Mustermann.

38 == 2. CIT Credentials ==
39
40 === 2.1 Students ===
41
42 At the beginning of their studies, students receive an identification slip for the preliminary courses and a welcome email with the identification and activation link. This means that every CIT student has a CIT ID. Regardless of whether you are a math, computer science or electrical engineering student, everyone gets a CIT ID. This identifier is completely separate from the TUM / TUM identifier.

102 ==== 2.2.2. Creating a Useraccount ====
103
104 Employees who have an CIT account, have access to central services of the ITO and CIT credentials  for the Rechnerhalle. In order for a new employee account to be generated, a user application is required. This can be done by one of two possible ways:
105
106 ===== **2.2.2.1. Automatic generation** =====
107
108 When a new employee of the CIT faculty starts working, the ITO directly and the user application is automatically generated.
109
110 The chairs IT-Administrator is then contacted via email, in order for him/her to confirm the user account in the StrukturDB.
111
112 Once the guest account is created, the chair administrator will be contacted by mail with the ID and activation link.
113
114 Then can the employee activate his account via [[Ucentral>>https://ucentral.in.tum.de/cgi-bin/activate.cgi]] by signing the user guidelines and setting his password (if the TUM ID is registered in the Database).
115
116
117 ===== **2.2.2.2. Manual generation** =====
118
119 If the user application is not generated automatically, the chairs IT-Administrator can do so directly via the StrukturDB for an amployee.
120
121 * The rest of the process is identical to 2.2.2.1
122
123 ==== 2.2.3. Renewal of CIT-account (credentials) ====
124
125 ===== **2.2.3.1. Employee** =====
126
127 If the CIT account is linked to the TUM Account, the CIT account is automatically renewed, as long as the TUM account is active.
128
129 * The TUMUID (TUM-credentials) entry in the database is required for this. For new employees this entry already exists. For some older employees however, the entry might be missing
130 * The chairs IT-administators are contacted via email, when the accounts are marked for deletion and can enter the TUM-credentials in order to renew the account.
131 * If the TUM-credentials are not entered, the use will be contacted 1-2 weeks later via email and will be informed , that account will be deleted shortly. If he/she is still an employee, he/she can manually renew it on the linked website (https://ucentral.in.tum.de/cgi-bin/renew.cgi).
132 * If the TUM-credentials are entered in the ucentral webaccess within 30 days, the account will be renewed automatically.
133 * If the employee does not react to the email, the account will be deactivated after 30 days and then be deleted after another 30 days.
134 By following this link, you can check, when your Account expires and enter your TUM-credentials if necessary: https://ucentral.in.tum.de/cgi-bin/renew.cgi
135
136 The account information looks like this for a guest:
137 [[image:ucentral: Renew your RBG account - Mozilla Firefox_078.jpg||width="800"]]
138
139 ===== **2.2.3.2. End of employment** =====
140
141 After the expiration of the CIT-account (exmatriculation or end of employment) an email will be sent to the corresponding @cit.tum.de email-account
142
143 * The email informs the user, that emails will only be received and sent for **1 month** and that a renewal of the account for a short period of time (max. 1 month) is possible by following the link in the email, provided there is a valid reason for it
144 * If the account is needed in the future, there is also the possibility to contact your chairs IT-administrator, in order for him/her to convert the user account to a guest account. If the email is ignored, the account can not be renewed and will be deactivated after 30 days and then deleted another 30 days later
145
146 **Exception**: If an employee leaves the CIT faculty for a limited amount of time (e.g. 6 months to 1 year) and it is certain that the employee returns after his/her hiatus, the employee can contact his/her IT-administrator for a renewal of the user account.
147
148 === 2.3. Guest ===
149
150 ==== 2.3.1 Guests without CIT-credentials ====
151
152 If a guest of the CIT needs an CIT account, he/she can contact his/her IT-administrator for this purpose. The administrator can then apply for a guest account via the StrukturDB.
153
154 Once the guest account is created, the chair administrator will be contacted by mail with the ID and activation link.
155
156 Then can the guest activate his account via [[Ucentral>>https://ucentral.in.tum.de/cgi-bin/activate.cgi]] by signing the user guidelines and setting his password (if the TUM ID is registered in the Database).
157
158 === 2.4. External Students or student assistant ===
159
160 A student assistant who is not studying  at the CIT faculty and works at a CIT chair, the chair administrator can apply for a student account in the StrukturDB for him.
161
162 External students or auditors can get their CIT ID from the ITO. To do this, please send an email to support@ito.cit.tum.de with the following information:
163
164 First name,
165
166 * Surname,
167 * Date of birth,
168 * Matriculation number,
169 * TUM identifier (e.g. lr89ito)
170 * Degree program,
171 * Reason for the application
172
173 == 3. Changing of the CIT Passwort ==
174
175 The CIT password must be reset in the following cases:
176 1 when a new one is created so that the account is activated
177 2 if the password has been forgotten
178
179 Employees, students and guests can change the CIT password themselves via [[this>>https://ucentral.in.tum.de/cgi-bin/activate.cgi]] link if the TUM identifier (tumuid) is entered in the StrukturDB. The CIT account is linked to the TUM account, so this entry is necessary.
180
181 If it is not available, the chair administrators can enter it in the StrukturDB (database) for employees and guests. For students, this can be done by the ITO-Helpdesk. Please write an email to support@ito.cit.tum.de with the following information:
182
183 * First name,
184 * Surname,
185 * Date of birth,
186 * Matriculation number,
187 * TUM identifier (e.g. lr89ito)
