Penetration Testing modules where students need to run scans and attack vulnerable servers and systems Logging in The Classroom Environment is only accessible from within the University network, or from the virtual desktop if you are outside the University. To access the Classroom Environment open a web browser (we recommend you use Google Chrome however Microsoft Edge can be used too) and browse to the URL https://classroom-vc.gre.ac.uk/ui And login with your University username (NOT username@gre.ac.uk) and password when prompted. Please note that if your password contains special characters such as ` @ % ^ & < > then you may not be able to login as VMware vCenter does not accept passwords with those characters in. If that is the case you will need to change your password to be able to login. See https://www.gre.ac.uk/it-and-library/password for instructions on how to do this. Staff users will need to put staff\their-username as the username. Accessing your Virtual Machines Once you have logged in, click on the “>” next to “CLASSROOM” and then the “>” next to “ACH_Classroom” and/or “LAS_Classroom” in the left hand pane to see the VMs that you have access to: Note that the number of VMs you see will depend on which modules you are enrolled on. For some modules, you will be working in groups, so will see multiple VMs for that module. Ensure you only access the VM your lecturer has assigned to you / your group. VMs that are powered on will have a green arrow pointing right to indicate this – in the above example the VM starting “comp1702” is powered on. To power on a VM that is off, select it in the left hand pane, and then right click on it, and from the menu that appears click “Power” -> “Power On”: Using your Virtual Machines Note: For the best experience when using your VMs we recommend that you open the console in the VMware Remote Console (VMRC). The VMRC will already be installed in the CMS labs in King William, on the virtual desktop, and in other labs where courses that use the Classroom Environment are taught. In other locations at the University (e.g. the library) you may need to install the VMRC from Software Center. To access the console of your VM select the “Open Remote Console” option from the right click menu. Depending on which browser you are using, you may be prompted to confirm you want to open the VMRC – say yes / open when prompted. The VMRC will now launch and you can access the console of your VM from it. The VMRC menu gives options for sending Ctrl-Alt-Del, powering on the VM etc. Note that if the VMRC does not start then it is most likely not installed on the computer you are using and you will need to go to Software Centre to install it. Help with the Classroom Environment If you have any problems with the tutorials or coursework that you need to use your VMs for you should speak to your lecturer in the first instance. If you have any problems using the Classroom Environment, can’t access VMs you should be able to or have a general question about the Classroom Environment please contact cms-support@gre.ac.uk. Please ensure you include your University username, what module you are studying, the names of the VMs you are having trouble with and information on any error message(s) you are getting (include screenshots if possible) as this will allow us to investigate your problem quicker.
