As of 22.11.2024, 11 am: Authentication via Shibboleth is still experiencing occasional problems and the uninterrupted operation of the VPN cannot be fully guaranteed at the moment.

The Hochschulrechenzentrum (HRZ) has scheduled a maintenance of the authentication services for next Wednesday ( 11/27/2024) between 11 am and 12 pm. Please note that Shibboleth will be unavailable during this time and that access to licensed e-media outside the university network will not be possible.


As of 21.11.2024, 15:45 pm: Since authentication via Shibboleth and VPN is once again experiencing problems in some places, access to licensed e-media outside the university network cannot currently be guaranteed.


What happened?

Due to a widespread disruption of the authentication services (VPN and Shibboleth), the licensed e-media were not accessible from outside the university network in the morning.

The use of Citavi was also only possible locally.

Access within the university network was still possible

With the exception of a few e-media, access within the university network continued to work, for example on our service PCs in the main library and in the MNL department library.
Literature research and registration in bonnus continued to function as usual during the disruption.
