Link your CrossAsia Account with the user account of your home institution

CrossAsia offers its registered users the opportunity of a linked login that allows them to access resources of their home institution and those provided by CrossAsia with only one login. In order to use this opportunity, users need to link their CrossAsia account with that of their home institution. This process needs to be done only once.

This is how it works:

In case you are logged in at CrossAsia please log off and log in at your home institution (see link below)
After a successful login at your home institution your user ID is displayed on this page below
Enter your CrossAsia user name and password into the respective fields
After submitting the form the two accounts are linked

After linking your accounts please only use your home institution’s login to access CrossAsia. Your CrossAsia login data do not work anymore. A detailed description about the login and further explanation can be found here.

Please log in first with the Shibboleth identity provided by your organisation.
