3. Configure VPN

Introduction

The system provides two operational modes: Full Service and Intranet mode. Users can toggle between these modes based on their specific needs by choosing the appropriate login portals. While STL students may primarily require the Full Service mode for access, the guide will outline the configuration process for both modes.

A. Full Service Mode (Global)

This mode enables access to internet resources and library resources through the campus network IP.

B. PKU Intranet Mode (Intranet)

This mode is tailored for accessing PKU main campus portal.

Configuration Steps

1. Open the app and click "+".

1) Full Service Mode (Global)

Enter a name (can be anything) and the server URL: vpn.pku.edu.cn. Then click "Add".

2) PKU Intranet Mode (Intranet)

If the Global mode for accessing library resources meets your needs, you can skip this part. Enter a name (can be anything) and the server URL: pacvpn.pku.edu.cn. Then click "Add".

remote_PKU_intranet

3. Click "Connect" and log in with your student/staff ID and password that is your date of birth if you are using it the first time (e.g., 19930812). Remember to check "Save settings" so that you do not need to enter the information again when you connect next time.

4. When the check mark turns green, it means you are able to access PKU resources.

The University Town Library (UTL) provides a database list that covers a variety of subjects. If you are off campus, you can simply access the databases through your campus card ID number (on the back of the campus ID card) and a password.

The library has already created accounts for enrolled foreign students who were not able to come to campus. For those who are on campus and have physical campus ID cards, you need to change your passwords when logging in the first time. See below:

If you have problems accessing the UTL databases, please contact STL or UTL for help.

1. Go to the UTL remote access page called Database Navigation and click "Login" on the top right corner.

Database Navigation Link: https://utsz.metaersp.cn/databaseList?locale=zh_CN

2. Enter your username and password. If it is a Chinese interface, you can switch to English by clicking the “EN” button on the top right corner of the login window.

Note: For those who have campus ID cards, enter your card ID and initial password 12345678 to log in and follow the steps to create a new password, which is a required step before accessing the database. If it does not work, try to click "Forget Password" and follow the steps to finish the process.

3. After activating your account, you can either directly access the Database Navigation by clicking the following link https://utsz.metaersp.cn/databaseList?locale=zh_CN or click the UTL logo on the top left corner of your account page and go to Resources - Database Navigation.
