How to Log In via Institutional Account (NFDI-AAI)

If you are a member of a German university or research institute, you can use your existing local credentials. Follow these steps to complete the login process:

Step 1: Start the Login

On the portal login page, look for the green buttons at the bottom.

  • Click on "Anmelden mit DFN-AAI" (or Edu-ID if applicable).

Step 2: Select Your Organization

You will be redirected to the DFN-AAI selection page.

  • Search: Type the name of your university or research center (e.g., "ZIB" or "TU Berlin") into the search box.
  • Confirm: Click the "Auswählen" (Select) button.
  • Tip: Check "Auswahl permanent speichern" if you want the system to remember your choice for next time.

Step 3: Choose the Client (Mandant)

You may be asked which project/area you wish to access.

  • Selection: Use the dropdown menu to select the correct client (i.e. MaRDI).
  • Confirm: Click the "Wählen" button.

Step 4: Your Institutional Login

You will now see your own institution's login screen.

  • Security: This is handled entirely by your local IT department.
