Software Shop Changeover
The SoftwareOne software shop (interim shop) is now being replaced by a new software shop from Academic Software.
The changeover from the interim solution to the new software shop will take place on July 28, 2025.
On July 28, 2025, the A products (software provided centrally by the IT Center) will be deactivated in the interim shop. From July 29, 2025, these will only be available through the new software shop.
The interim shop for students will also be shut down on July 28, 2025. From July 29, 2025, students will also be able to purchase their software via the new software shop.
For further information on the new Software Store please consult the IT Center Help:

Login via RWTH Single Sign-On not working
There are currently disruptions to RWTH Single Sign-On. After entering your login details, the screen loads and then an Internal Server Error appears. This affects all services that use the RWTH Single Sign-On login.
The specialist department has been informed and is working to resolve the issue.
The problem has been fixed.
Routing über neue XWiN-Router
During this period, the routing of the previous XWiN routers (Nexus 7700) will be switched to the new XWiN routers (Catalyst 9600). These routers are essential for RWTH's network connection. This changeover also requires the migration of the DFN connection, which is switched redundantly to Frankfurt and Hannover, and the RWTH firewall to the new systems.
There will be complete or partial outages of the external connection during the maintenance window. All RWTH services (e.g. VPN, email, RWTHonline, RWTHmoodle) will not be available during this period. The accessibility of services within the RWTH network will be temporarily unavailable due to limited DNS functionality.
Der Uplink nach Frankfurt wurde erfolgreich auf das neue System geschwenkt.

Problematik mit der Anbindung zur Physik identifiziert, Lösung erfolgt morgen früh.
Kurze SSO-Störung
This evening around 20:25 - 21:00 there was a performance low in the SSO service and was checked by the specialist department during this time. The problem has been solved and fast logins without waiting times are possible again.
Single sign-on and MFA mailfunction
At the moment, single sign-on and multi-factor authentication are sporadically disrupted. We are already working on a solution and ask for your patience.
Temporary Loss of Services Due to Defective Hardware
Due to problems with the load balancers (F5), the majority of services such as RWTHmoodle, RWTH Single Sign-On, RWTH E-Mail etc. and all services behind the RWTH Single Sign-On are disrupted.
A technician from the manufacturer has now also been called in to solve the problem.
The fault has been rectified. However, there may still be delays in delivery or receipt.
Short problems while using RWTH Single Sign-On
For a short period of time, there was an error while using RWTH Single Sign-On.
The problem has been solved.
Expired certificate
Due to the expired certificate for idm.rwth-aachen.de, no IdM applications and the applications that use RWTH Single Sign-On can be accessed.
We are working on a solution.
- An insecure connection message is displayed when calling up IdM applications.
- When calling up applications with access via RWTH Single Sign-On, a message about missing authorisations is displayed.
The certificate has been updated and the applications can be accessed again. Please delete the browser cache before accessing the pages again.
Multifactor-Authentication for the RWTH Single Sign-On
Since July 2, 2024, the RWTH Single Sign-On (SSO) and the login of all SSO-connected services is protected with multifactor-authentication (MFA). In addition to an individual password, users must now enter a second factor when logging in. The second factor must be generated in Selfservice [1] via the Token Manager. Further information can be found on IT Center Help [2] and the IT Center Blog [3].

Login via RWTH Single Sign-On Partially Not Possible
Unfortunately, the login via the RWTH Single Sign-On and thus into the connected services is currently only successful in individual cases.
If you receive an error message, please try to log in again in about an hour.
People who are already successfully logged in are not affected by the disruption.
The servers are currently at full capacity. We therefore ask you to try to log in at a later time (approx. in one hour). We are working on a solution to the problem.
Through various measures, which have significantly increased the overall performance of the servers, the loading difficulties and login problems were resolved around 3 pm.
For the time being, the message remains as a note, as we continue to monitor the load on the system.
The login to the RWTH Single Sign-On is stabilized. For this reason, we are ending this notice.
