Maybe you are thinking twice before shutting down your computer because you know what awaits you when you will turn it on again. Many precious minutes spent logging in to Codebase, Blablador, the RSD, Mattermost, Indico, etc. And with 2FA of course, otherwise it’d be too easy.
Well, there is something that may lighten this burden a little, and it is called “Single Sign On” or SSO for short: Log in once via login.helmholtz.de – that’s the main trick. If it’s anywhere else it may not work as well, depending on your browser configuration. Just log in and let your browser transfer the cookie from one tab to the other and do this until you close the browser or clear your stored cookies. Just refresh your pages or click on log in on each website to trigger the browser to make use of the cookie from Helmholtz ID. This way you may save a few extra logins for everything happening in the browser at least.
By the way, if you need to safely log out from a page using Helmholtz ID, e.g. when using a shared computer, optimally use a browser in incognito mode, it will erase all cookies at the end of your session, also the one authenticating you in Helmholtz ID. You may also choose to log out of specific services, but be aware that this mostly only applies for the very page you actually clicked on “logout”. This means that open login sessions may remain on login.helmholtz.de and other intermediate SSO pages, until you explicitly log out there, too.
Hope it helps.
