About
sapir The University of Newcastle has already established a Shibboleth origin as part of the Core-middleware IAMSECT project, and this work will be built upon in order to widen the use of Shibboleth within the institution. The University Library has developed a large portfolio of electronic resources with all the complexities of authentication and authorisation that this involves. The Athens access management system has helped to simplify access issues to an extent, but the fact that Shibboleth is an international standard inevitably means it is in the interests of institutions to investigate the practicalities of implementing this new method of access with commonly-used resources while at the same time clearly documenting the issues that may arise, and helping the community with future developments. In addition to this, the work will look at other commonly used resources and resource management tools. |
