IT Manual: Weblogin (id.gsi.de)

Introduction

While Windows and Linux accounts grant access to machines and computing resources at GSI/FAIR, a Weblogin account enables access to various web services.

Employees of GSI/FAIR will receive their Weblogin account together with the application for Windows, Mail and Linux accounts. Scientific guests of GSI/FAIR apply for a Weblogin account by registering at the Welcome Office. Everyone else can apply for a Weblogin account from the IT help desk (see Request account).

Manual

Employees of GSI/FAIR will receive their Weblogin account together with the application for Windows, Mail and Linux accounts using this form.

Scientific guests of GSI/FAIR apply for a Weblogin account by registering at the Welcome Office.

If you are not a scientific guest or fall under one of the exceptions listed on the Welcome Office page, you can apply for the weblogin via e-mail to the following e-mail address: accounts-weblogin-service @ gsi.de. Please include the following information in your e-mail:

  • full surname, first name and gender identity as stated on the ID card.
  • personal e-mail address (GSI/FAIR or external).
  • name of the institute or company (complete address, website).
  • name of the person responsible for you at GSI/FAIR.
  • the desired applications for which you need access (e.g. safety instruction, ...)

Enter the username and password of your Weblogin account at id.gsi.de and click on “Sign In”.

The "Remember me" checkbox refers to the closing of the browser window. This means that if this box is checked, you will remain signed in even after you have closed their browser. Therefore, this checkbox should only be set on computers that are exclusively accessible to you. After successful login, your session lasts for a maximum of twelve hours. After two hours of inactivity, your session will be terminated prematurely.

Sign in at id.gsi.de (see Sign in). Then navigate to “Account security” in the left sidebar and select “Signing in”. Then, click on “Update” in the row of “My password” under “Basic authentication“.

Enter your new password and confirm it by entering it a second time. Your new password will be validated against the password rules. The "Sign out from other devices" checkbox allows you to prematurely end sessions on other devices. This is useful if you're concerned that your password has been compromised and others have already logged in on other devices. Click on “Submit” to complete the process.

This is a non-exhaustive list of web services that use Weblogin account for authentication.
