Institutional Authentication

U.Porto's institutional authentication (U.Porto aai) provides safe and transversal authentication in several Web services made available by U.Porto using the credentials of your institution's Information System. The services using institutional authentication are usually identified with the abbreviation (or symbol) "AAI".

Examples of services that allow institutional authentication:

U.Porto aai is also integrated with the RCTS Authentication and Authorisation Infrastructure (RCTS aai), which allows the U.Porto community to be authenticated in national services made available by the Foundation for National Scientific Computing (FCCN):

Log in using institutional authentication

Log in using the format up[123456789]@up.pt [ 1 ] and the password of the Information System.

Log off institutional authentication

Institutional authentication does not allow you to log out of the systems in the usual way. Please close the browser window to ensure you end the authenticated session in any institutional service. You should not use institutional authentication in public environments where it is not possible to close the browser window, namely in internet cafes.

Institutional authentication troubleshooting

If you cannot log in using institutional authentication, check if you meet the following requirements:

  • Are you able to log in to your institution's information system?
  • Are you using your login with a reference to your institution (e.g. @fep.up.pt)?

If you have any questions, contact the nearest Helpdesk.
