The TYPO3 documentation is currently being translated. Some pages in the English version might be incomplete or missing, compared to the German version. This will be corrected shortly.
For more information please visit the German version.
All information on using the TYPO3 content management system (CMS) at TU Braunschweig, both for editors and CMS coordinators, can be found on the following pages.
All information on the following pages is only accessible to logged-in users of TU Braunschweig
To log in to the TYPO3 backend (the editorial system), you only need to add /typo3 to the address of the TU Braunschweig website. The correct address then looks like this:
www.tu-braunschweig.de/typo3
The CMS coordinators of the faculties, institutes and facilities assign the write permissions for the websites belonging to your institutions. If you cannot log in to the TYPO3 backend, you do not yet have write permissions in the TYPO3 system. In this case, you must request access from your responsible CMS coordinator. Your CMS coordinator can then activate you for your institution's pages in TYPO3. CMS coordinators are usually the same as the IT coordinators at your institution.
After you have clicked on the link above, you will be taken to the TYPO3 login page. Select the green “Login” button under SSO Login.
You can ignore the “Login with user name and password” displayed below.
IMPORTANT: If you are already prompted for your user name and password on this page with the photo in the background, please click on the small link “SSO login” at the bottom to get to the view shown in the screenshot.
If you enter your access data directly on this page with the photo in the background, you are using the TYPO3 login, where you cannot log in with your TU ID and you will receive an error message. You must always log in using the SSO login.
Next, you will be shown the general SSO (SingleSignOn) login form of TU Braunschweig.
Here you can enter your GITZ user ID and password and click on “Login”.
When using the SingleSignOn, a central service of the TU Braunschweig is requested, therefore this and the following page looks different from the TYPO3 website. The data displayed to you during the login process is provided from a central GITZ database.
If you are already logged in to another SSO service of the TU Braunschweig, the backend will be displayed directly without further information.
On the following page you will be asked for your consent to the transfer of your personal data. This page shows you which of your personal data is required for the service that is connected to the SSO (in this case the TYPO3 backend).
If you agree to the transmission of the data and select the small checkmark next to “Remember consent”, you will not see this information page again when you log in to the TYPO3 backend.
If you do not agree to the transmission of the data, you will unfortunately not be able to work in the TYPO3 backend.
If you have any questions about the TYPO3 CMS or login, you can find information on the following pages (only accessible after login). If you have any further questions or problems, please contact the web team of the Press and Communications Office. The entire web team can be reached at the following e-mail address
webredaktion(at)tu-braunschweig.de
You will also find the contact details of all contact persons on the right.
In addition to contacting the web tream by e-mail, you can also take part in a training course for the TYPO3 CMS.
