Universidade de Vigo Centralized Authentication help

What is?

Is a system that allows access to UVigo web applications authenticating once, so you can switch between applications with no need to authenticate again.

How does it work?

When trying to login to an application you will be redirected to a "User Identification" page, where you must authenbticate, typing your full user account (usuario@uvigo.gal or usuario@alumnado.uvigo.gal) and its password. If identification succeeds you will be sent back to the application you were trying to access.

When pressing "Logout" button or link on an application you will close your session for all applications using this system. Anyway, for logging out we recommend closing your browser (all open windows and tabs).

How do I identify myself?

On the centralized authentication system you can identify yourself in different ways:

  • User: Using a user account (with domain, usuario@uvigo.gal or usuario@alumnado.uvigo.gal) and password.On personal accounts you can use your identity card or passport number as username.
  • NIU: Giving data used to access Secretaria Online: NIU, identity card number and and password.
  • FNMT certificate: Having a FNMT certificate (de persoa física, funcionario público, etc.) and a browser configured to use it.
  • DNIe
When using password based authentication mechanisms keep in mind that NIU and user account passwords are set by the own user first time he uses them and don't have to be the same.

If you have no current relationship with UVIGO you have no user account, but you can still authenticate on some services using your NIU or a personal digital certificate issued by FNMT.
