==== Alternative Student Accounts ====

If the installation of the Open eClass platform you use supports users’ authentication through LDAP, IMAP, POP3, External MySQL, CAS or Shibboleth then the “Student Registration” link leads to a choice of alternative registration means.

=== Student Registration through LDAP account ===
 
If you have an account in your Institute LDAP Directory Service then click on “New Account (using an LDAP account)”. More analytically: 

  * Fill in the email and password you have in the LDAP Service. In that way, you will have access to the Open eClass platform using your email address and the already existing password. 
  * Select the LDAP Server of your Institute, 
  * Choose the School or Faculty you belong to from the list
  * Click on the “Registration” button

If the information you have inserted is correct, the platform will ask you to confirm the specific action. Click on the “Add” button

In any case, you will receive an email message confirming your registration and clearly stating that user authentication through LDAP Service has been exploited for access to the Open eClass platform.

=== Student Registration through IMAP, POP3 Authentication ===

If you have a POP3 or IMAP email account, you can register through that account. Fill in the application form with the username and password you use in the database and then click on the “Registration” button.
