The page called here is the Identity Provider (IdP) of Hochschule Esslingen - University of Applied Sciences and is operated by the computer center of Hochschule Esslingen - University of Applied Sciences. 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 with the user directory of the university, as well as further data sources.

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 done by entering the user ID and a password. The verification of your registration data always takes place at Esslingen University. 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. This can be, for example, the name, the e-mail address or the group affiliation within the Hochschule Esslingen - University of Applied Sciences (student, employee, ...).

To implement the principle of data minimization, many SP instead of plain names only require SP-specific, persistent pseudonymous identifiers. In order to implement this, these identifiers are generated by the IdP during the registration process and stored permanently. By activating the checkbox under this text you consent to the storage of the related information by the IdP. You can revoke this consent at any time by a statement to the operator of the IdP, by sending an e-mail to aai-support@hs-esslingen.de. The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

Further information on data protection can be found in the privacy policy
