ESR authentication issues

What to do if you're having problems authenticating into the Electronic Staff Record (ESR).

The issue

You are having problems authenticating into ESR. This may be despite being able to successfully authenticate into ESR previously.


Resolution

This may be related to the migration of ESR to CIS2 Authentication

As part of this, users must have NHS Credential Management installed.

You can use the setup checker tool to establish whether NHS Credential Management is installed.

Install NHS Credential Management

If NHS Credential Management is not installed, talk to your IT support team because admin rights are needed to install it.
