ERDA AU sign up

Since ERDA uses the central user database for user validation, all AU-employees can create an ERDA-account.

In other words, you sign up to ERDA with the same username and password you use for your AU computer, email and internal websites.

Here, we walk through sign up for ERDA as an internal user, as an external user, and adding 2-factor authentication on your ERDA account.

Sign up for ERDA

Sign up as an AU-user

  • Go to https://erda.au.dk, click AU Users.
  • Click Sign up to ERDA using your AU-account?
  • Approve logon with your Microsoft Authenticator appon your phone. If you are already logged in to your AU account, you will not be asked to approve, but will be taken directly on to ERDA.

ERDA now creates your user and opens your front page. ERDA also sends you a welcome email with a link to the page.

Sign up as an external user

  • Go to erda.au.dk, and click on the banner External Users.
  • Click on Sign up under sign up to ERDA without an AU account?
  • Fill out the sign-up form ERDA opens.
  • Click I accept the ERDA terms and conditions.
  • Click Send. 

Wait for the system administration to send you an email confirming your acces.

2-factor authentication

Due to the increasing risk of cyber attack, we recommend securing your ERDA accoutn with 2-factor authentication. 2-factor authentication adds a step to login, demanding username, password, and a single-use numerical code.

  • Open ERDA and click Setup. 
  • Open the 2-Factor auth banner and click Okay, let’s go.
  • Open Microsoft Authenticator, the AU-approved app for 2-factor authentication. Find the app in your appstore, if it's not installed on your device.
  • Click I've got it installed in ERDA.

Either scan a QR-code in ERDA or enter the key manually. If your device has a camera, scanning is by far the easiest way.

  • Click QR code in ERDA and aim the camera on your device at the code. The app will scan the code automatically.
  • Click Legitimisation Information at the bottom right of Microsoft Authenticator og Scan a QR-kode.
  • Click Done importing in ERDA, and enter the code from the app in the popup window.
  • Click Verify to check that setup works properly.

Your app can now generate 6-digit single use codes, that change every 30 seconds. Find them at the front page of Microsoft Authenticator.

You must now define the bredth of 2-factor authentication for your ERDA account. Activate all six options for maximum protection.

Click Save 2-Factor Auth Settings to finish.

Log out of ERDA

When done working in ERDA, we recommend logging out. This is especially important if you share a PC with others.

  • Click the person icon at the bottom left corner of ERDA.
  • Click Sign Out at the bottom of the user menu.
  • Click Yes.
