Registering with the OSG

COManage administrators

This page is for users who want to register with the OSG. If you are a COManage Admin and need to approve a user registration, go to the Approving COManage Registrations page instead.

OSG uses the COManage identity management system to register OSG contacts. COManage is backed by the InCommon federation, meaning that users can register with the OSG using their institutional identities with familiar single sign-on forms.
