UDE university members can use licensed products at any time and from any location. For access from outside the campuses, log in via Shibboleth or VPN. Your UDE identification (= 'Unikennung') and password are required for both login methods.

External users can access e-media at PC workstations in the GW/GSW and LK Libraries. Access to electronic media from home, e.g. via VPN, is not possible.

Please note:
The ‘LinkedIn Learning’ and ‘O'Reilly’ platforms can only be accessed via a Shibboleth login and are therefore not available to external users.

Shibboleth is a procedure for distributed authentication and authorisation for web applications and web services. You need your UDE identification (= 'Unikennung') and password for authentication.

Access via VPN (Virtual Private Network) establishes a tunnel to the UDE network. All your data traffic runs via an encrypted connection via the UDE VPN server. As long as the connection exists, your computer is assigned an IP address from the university network.
