# Matrix: Anmelden (Login)

This source provides the operational procedure for configuring a Matrix client to connect to the Universität Greifswald home server.

## Onboarding Workflow
To access the Matrix service, users must complete the following sequence:
1. **Client Installation**: Install a compatible Matrix client (e.g., [[element]]).
2. **Consent**: Grant the necessary consent declaration via the [[ums]] (Central Account Management).
3. **Home Server Configuration**: Set the home server to `matrix.uni-greifswald.de`.
4. **Authentication**: Log in using the [[shibboleth]] system with the [[zentraler-nutzeraccount]].

## Technical Details
- **Home Server Address**: `matrix.uni-greifswald.de`
- **Identity**: Upon successful authentication, the system assigns a unique [[matrix-id]] in the format `@mxid-XXXXX:matrix.uni-greifswald.de`.
- **Authentication Gateway**: The login process redirects to a browser window for Shibboleth authentication.

## Support
Technical issues are handled by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] via their ticket system (hosted on [[groupware]]) or the URZ hotline (ext. 1420).
