External access using Shibboleth
External Access using EZProxy login enables you to use resources licensed by Passau University Library from home or on the road.
As an alternative, more and more publishers and providers of electronic resources are allowing authentication via Shibboleth.
How does Shibboleth work?
- Go to the website of the desired electronic resource.
- Look for terms like 'Log in', 'Sign in', 'Log in using Shibboleth' or 'Institutional Login'.
- Choose from a list of Shibboleth institutions. The University of Passau is displayed either directly or after you select the region or the 'German Higher Education and Research (DFN-AAI)' group.
- You can then log in using your ZIM username and password.
