ULCN-account
As a new employee of Leiden University, you automatically receive a ULCN account that gives you direct access to your workplace, Wi-Fi, and various ICT systems. Here you will find all information about activating and securing this account, as well as answers to questions such as: How do I reset my password? How do I request an account for a guest? And how do I set up extra authentication?
Password and username
Have you forgotten your password or are you looking for your username? In most cases, you can easily reset your password yourself or retrieve your username via Account Services. If this does not work, for example because your account details are incomplete, you will find information here on how the helpdesk can assist you further.
Activation and management
Before you can get started, you must activate and set up your account via Account Services. On this page, you can read how to do this, how to manage your personal data, and which steps you need to take to keep your account secure, even if you leave employment.
Additional authentication via ULCN (MFA)
To optimally protect university data, many systems use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Discover here which authentication methods are available, such as an app or security key, and read how to set up this extra security step for your account.
Applying for a guest or external account
Are you receiving guests or external employees who need to use university ICT facilities? Depending on the required facilities, you request an account via your GMS contact person or the Service Portal. Here you will find the procedures for both limited and more extensive access.
