Test phase with Shibboleth
Shibboleth (DFN-AAI) is a national browser-based infrastructure that was developed to provide a simple, transparent and secure process that can be used to shorten and streamline the authentication of people and the granting of authorizations. You only need to log in at one location (single sign-on), for example at your home university, and you can then access many different licensed services and online publications. It does not matter which device you use.
prometheus cannot yet be used via Shibboleth. The emphasis is on “not yet” because we are currently testing intensively with some institutions such as the University of Cologne. Here, logging in from outside already works for the test group:
Additional interested licensed institutions will be gradually integrated. If you are interested, please contact us.
… and further steps will be implemented in the next few weeks, for example the integration of your personal access with settings, personal data, image collections and image uploads, even if you change institutes.
