Do I have to register for OPEN FAU?

If you would like to publish a paper, you must register either via Shibboleth (i.e. with the FAU IdM identifier) or an FAU email address (…@fau.de; …@uk-erlangen.de; …@alumni.fau.de). How to obtain a valid email address as an alumni can be found under: https://www.fau.eu/alumni/the-fau-network/benefit-from-the-network/#collapse_3. To access and download already published documents you do not need an FAU account.

It may happen that the Shibboleth-Authentication will not work as expected and the Shibboleth-Login will not work. In this situations we recommend to create an account with the fau-email and a password directly in the Open FAU and use this account.
