Every MacBook or iMac bought by RHUL and delivered directly to the end-user needs to install the following software:

• Microsoft Office 365
• Sophos antivirus
• CIM VPN

In addition, based on Department requirements, each user can install:

No-machine enterprise client

Mathlab

Matematica

* If the macOS has been updated to Catalina or Mojave 10.15 there is a special workaround for the VPN

Microsoft Office 365:

Open your internet browser and login in the RHUL email:
http://mail.rhul.ac.uk/
Click on the icon on the top left corner ( App Launcher )
and click on the Office 365 –>  link
Then you can follow the instruction after clicking on the Install Office button.
Use your RHUL email to get the license for it.

 

CIM VPN ( macOS up to  10.14)

Log in at our VPN portal:
My CIM
Download the Cisco Anyconnect client
The address to connect to is:
my.cim.rhul.ac.uk

Username and password as your RHUL account

Workaround for MacOs After 10.14

Install brew ( brew.sh/ )
past this command in macOS terminal

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

then

brew update
brew install openconnect

When the installation is complete you can run this in a terminal window

sudo openconnect my.cim.rhul.ac.uk

If you want a GUI for the openconnect, it is available here
openconnect.github.io/openconnect-gui/  but since the developer has not registered with Apple the first time the software starts it immediately stops.
You have to go into Security and privacy options and confirm to open the application anyway. Then open the application again make a new profile for our VPN with the address my.cim.rhul.ac.uk and your RHUL username

For all MacOS users willing to update to the new OS Catalina, CIM team do NOT support the OS yet.

We suggest to put the update on hold until further notice.

You can test your system for the update following this short guide and open a ticket on our help desk with the list of your legacy software that won’t work on Catalina.

1) First, click on the Apple logo in the upper-left corner of your screen and select “About This Mac.” Click on “System Report,” and scroll down the sidebar a bit until you see “Legacy Software.” Any apps in this section are 32-bit apps and won’t work on macOS Catalina.

2) If you don’t see any apps at all, try clicking on “Applications” in the sidebar. There should be a column that says “64-Bit (Intel),” and any apps listed with “no” are 32-bit, not 64-bit.

3) Reverting to Mojave is a destructive process and involves erasing the hard disk. Making a time machine back up is mandatory before reinstalling Mojave.

If you need help for the reinstallation process, open a ticket in our help desk.
