To make calls to a phone number from the Skype for Business App, all you have to do is click on the dialpad icon in the upper right corner.
Then you can dial the number.
ATTENTION: There must be a 0 in front of the desired number, otherwise the call will not be forwarded.
This guide works for both IPhone and Android devices.
You can find more information on the ZDV website (German).

Manual on how to create a ssh-tunnel to kph infrastructure.
For this you will need an KPH-Account and access via SSH has to be activated by us.
If you already have an KPH-Account, write an E-Mail with your KPH username to kph-it@uni-mainz.de and ask to be enabled for SSH. Please attach your public SSH-key to the E-Mail.
After we enabled your account, you can create a ssh-tunnel with Linux (batch, etc.) or Windows 10 (cmd, etc.) as follows:
ssh -N -L <local-port>:<kph-pcname>:<kph-port> proxy@gate6.kph.uni-mainz.de
Now you can establish a connection on your local computer to the KPH computer using the <local-port>. e.g. by putting localhost:12345 as RDP-Client destination.
Simply terminate the tunnel at the end of the session.
Please use putty version >=0.75.
Alternatively for older versions of windows your can use the program PuTTY. Please follow the instructions for Generating a SSH key with PuTTY.
Update: April 11, 2023 - The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) requires a key length of at least 3000 bits for the RSA method with the expiration of the year 2023. Therefore, the Institute of Nuclear Physics will no longer accept RSA keys with 2048 bits for new applications. Existing users have been requested to generate new, BSI-compliant keys.
Update: May 15, 2020 - Due to a serious security incident on the university's HPC systems, all SSH keys used so far lose their validity with immediate effect.
The ZDV changed the type of connection for the univeristy email from StartTLS (port 143) to SSL (port 993). You can modify this in the settings of your email software.

This week, the Federal Office for Information Security has again published a warning of the trojan "Emotet" [1] (only in german)
Fraudsters are currently sending fake applications to prepare dynamite phishing.
In dynamite phishing, the attackers send e-mails to a target with the intention of forcing them to open the e-mail attachment.
Microsoft has announced that the support for Windows 7 will cease on January 14, 2020, which means that there will be no normal or security-related updates after that date.
We therefore recommend an upgrade to Windows 10, which we provide free of charge. If you wish, we can help you with the installation and, if necessary, take over for you.
If you still have concerns about the upgrade, you can visit us or contact us. We will be happy to advise you further.
