The page accessed here is the Identity Provider (IdP) of the University of Koblenz. The IdP is used for secure login to services, so-called Service Providers (SP), which are available via the DFN-AAI. For this, the IdP is connected to the user directory of the University of Koblenz.

The authentication and authorization infrastructure DFN-AAI is managed by the DFN association. It creates the necessary relationship of trust and the organizational and technical framework for the exchange of user information between institutions (IdP) and service providers (SP operators) in the DFN-AAI. As part of the registration process, the IdP first performs an authentication of the users. This is usually done by entering the user ID and a password. The verification of your registration data always takes place at the IdP of the University of Koblenz. These credentials will not be transferred to an SP. Subsequently, the information required for use of the SP (so-called attributes) is transferred to the relevant SP. These can be, for example, the name, the e-mail address or the group affiliation within the University of Koblenz (student, employee, ...).

To implement the principle of data minimization, many SPs require only SP-specific, persistent, pseudonymous identifiers instead of common names. In order to implement this, these identifiers are generated by the IdP as part of the logon process and stored permanently.
