CILogon is a tool that allows you to use existing login credentials, so you do not have to create a new one.
- On the CILogon page are two sections:
- Consent to Attribute Release: Lists the kind of information CILogon requires of you.
- Select an Identity Provider: Defaults to ORCID, but lets you choose a different ID provider from a drop-down list.
- If you are a researcher with an active ORCID account, you can log in with ORCID as the ID Provider.
An ORCID account can only be used to log in if the email associated with it is set to public in your ORCID profile. Use another login option if you prefer to keep your email private.
- Alternatively, if you are a faculty, staff or student member of a university or college, find and select your institution’s name from the drop-down list.
If your university or school is not in the ID providers list, you can contact help@cilogon.org to request that your educational institution be added. Other account options include Google, GitHub or Microsoft. Remember which account you used as REMS keeps a history of actions per account.
