The process of logging in consists of several steps. The first step is on the website of a service where you select a login option, for example, “Shibboleth” or “bwIDM”.

Step 2:
Then you select your higher education institution, “Universität Mannheim”. If the service is not German, you need to select the federation “DFN-AAI” or “German Higher Education and Research”. Since the service wants to know where you are coming from, the service is also called “Where Are You From” or WAYF.

The WAYF service is integrated on the start page of some services, such as bwidm.scc.kit.edu.

Please contact us if you need access to a service that is not supported yet. We will do our best to offer you access as soon as possible.
Please note: For services that you do not regularly use, for example buying a semester ticket, checking the box for the “remember me” option might be useful.
