    2. Click on Save changes.

    * Feel free to use an abbreviation of your organization. Just be aware of character limitations.

  • Submission - General notice

    1. Click On to activate the General notice.
    2. Click Edit to change the text.
    3. Confirm changes by clicking on Save Changes

  • Single SignOn - Shibboleth

    You can integrate PlagScan with your existing user administration system, for example, active directory or LDAP: Our Single SignOn Solution is via Shibboleth (SAML V2), which is an open-source single sign-on system that has connectors to all the widely used directory services.

    It allows users to sign into different online systems (library, HR, LMS, plagiarism checking, etc.) using a single authentication and allows centralized administration of user accounts.

    PlagScan is a member of the DFN-AAI and EduGAIN federations as a service provider. If your organization is a member of a participating federation (check here) you can set up the integration immediately. Otherwise, contact us, so we can trust your certificate.

    What do I have to do on my Shibboleth identity provider to exchange data with PlagScan?
    Register the EntityID of PlagScan (https://www.plagscan.com) in your Identity Provider. Make the "email" Attribute available, plus potentially another attribute if you want to differentiate user groups (e.g. attribute eduPersonAffiliation to distinguish student and staff users).
    Finally, enter your "Address of Identity Provider", e.g. https://www.example.org/idp/shibboleth, into the PlagScan access configuration.
