Introduction

In order to use the instances of this webservice, first click on the instance-link on the frontpage.
If no such link exist, the webservice might be hidden and you need to ask your responsible admin for the direct URL.

If your service is allowed for anonymous users, you are directly forwarded to it,
otherwise you need to authenticate first.
You can set the other authentication mechanisms once you logged in.

If anonymous access is allowed you can log in by hitting the "login"-link inside the webservice.
So, in a, e.g. wiki it would look like (click to enlarge):

Other services might look different, but just look for an link "login".

Logging in

The actual login page then looks like (click to enlarge):

Depending on the webservice, one or more authentication mechanisms are available to you.
The page should be fairly self-explanatory, but
when logging in the first time, only password (and gsskrb5-authentication,
if you have a Kerberos password for RZG) is available to you.
You can set the other authentication mechanisms once you logged in.

Adjusting your login-methods

Once logged in, you can adjust your settings by clicking in the webservice
on a link called "manage account" or "logout/manage account" or sth. similar.

The account settings page itself looks like (click to enlarge):

If you don't know how what to type in for you credentials,
just press the "auto-detect" link of the respective login-method,
authenticate yourself and then confirm the new login-method
with your current password.

Managing an instance

If you are in the lucky position to be a webservice manager,
you can configure your user-base when following the link
"manage instance", in the intermediate page just before log-out.
