AU Libraries' Remote Lab

Welcome to the AU Libraries Remote Lab!

Remote Lab is a web-based service that provides 24/7 remote access to Windows computers from both Windows and macOS devices (excluding technical outages). These machines are equipped with the same software available in Auburn University Libraries’ computing labs, including:

  • Innovation & Research Commons (I&RC)
  • RBD Library 2nd Floor
  • Library of Architecture, Design, and Construction (LADC)

A few tips before you start:

  • When accessing a machine, you will need to authenticate using your DUO Mobile account.

  • Allow popups if necessary for apps.lib.auburn.edu.

  • Allow the remote machine to see text and images copied to the clipboard. This will enable copy/paste between your local and the remote machine.

  • Maximize your browser window and use F11 to go full screen for a better view.

  • Use Box cloud storage to access and work with your files.

  • You can also drag and drop files from your local computer onto the remote window, and they will appear in a drive called Guacamole Filesystem.

Important Information!

  •  Remote machines are available on a first-come, first-served basis. If the computer you previously used is occupied, you’ll need to select another one.

  • If you are inactive for 10 minutes, your session will lock, and you’ll need to log back in. After 4 hours of inactivity, you’ll be disconnected; you then have four additional hours to reconnect before being fully logged out, which will result in loss of any unsaved work.

  • Files saved on the remote machine remain available for 5 days and are then automatically deleted.
