Shibboleth is a procedure for distributed authentication and authorization for web applications (e.g. databases) and for individual access to protected online resources outside the university. Shibboleth makes it possible to use various web applications with a single sign-on (SSO). Login via Shibboleth is only possible for members of the university.
