Everyone who studies or works at RWTH knows it: the RWTH Single Sign-On.
This is not a dating service, but an application with which you can log in to almost all RWTH services. What is particularly charming is that you do not have to remember an infinite number of access data, but only one user name and the corresponding password.
In addition, RWTH Single Sign-On recognizes if you are already logged in to a service, for example RWTHonline. If you then log in to RWTHmoodle, RWTH Single Sign-On waves the user through directly using the underlying “Shibboleth” application.
