• Users from other institutions, also using this 'Shibboleth' authorization, can sign in with the account of their own institution. In the Please select your organization from the list below dropdown menu in the Single Sign-On option there is a list of the organizations where this applies.

 

Signing in via LDAP login

• You sign in with your University of Innsbruck user ID.
• The user ID is the only way to log in with LDAP.
• Please note: There is no automatic authentication with any University of Innsbruck Single Sign-on services.

 

Guest Access

• In order to make learning resources accessible to guests, guest access rights must explicitly be given (HelpCard 10-070).
