Login not possible
RWTH Single Sign-On login ist not possible at the moment.
Existing sessions are not affected.
We are working on fixing the problem.
Routing über neue XWiN-Router
During this period, the routing of the previous XWiN routers (Nexus 7700) will be switched to the new XWiN routers (Catalyst 9600). These routers are essential for RWTH's network connection. This changeover also requires the migration of the DFN connection, which is switched redundantly to Frankfurt and Hannover, and the RWTH firewall to the new systems.
There will be complete or partial outages of the external connection during the maintenance window. All RWTH services (e.g. VPN, email, RWTHonline, RWTHmoodle) will not be available during this period. The accessibility of services within the RWTH network will be temporarily unavailable due to limited DNS functionality.
Short problems while using RWTH Single Sign-On
For a short period of time, there was an error while using RWTH Single Sign-On.
The problem has been solved.
Multifactor-Authentication for the RWTH Single Sign-On
Since July 2, 2024, the RWTH Single Sign-On (SSO) and the login of all SSO-connected services is protected with multifactor-authentication (MFA). In addition to an individual password, users must now enter a second factor when logging in. The second factor must be generated in Selfservice [1] via the Token Manager. Further information can be found on IT Center Help [2] and the IT Center Blog [3].
