To access our licensed electronic resources, you must authenticate as an authorized user. Depending on the provider, different access options are available: eAccess, Shibboleth, on library computers, or via proxy configuration within the TUM-LAN.
Access via Proxy Configuration
Requirements:
- Computer with a static IP address within the TUM-LAN
- Not suitable for use via WLAN
Einrichtung im Browser:
Sie müssen in Ihrem Browser bzw. Betriebssystem die URL des PAC-Skripts hinterlegen. Dieses Skript leitet Ihre Anfragen über unseren Proxyserver weiter, wodurch eine IP-Adressprüfung erfolgt. Wenn Ihre IP-Adresse zur TUM-Range gehört, werden Sie automatisch zum Anbieter weitergeleitet und erhalten Zugriff auf die lizenzierten Inhalte.
Browser Configuration:
You need to configure your browser or operating system to use the PAC Script URL. This script routes your requests through our proxy server, enabling IP address verification. If your IP address belongs to the TUM range, you will automatically be redirected to the provider’s server and granted access to licensed content.
PAC Script URL: http://pac.lrz.de
