<div dir="ltr">Hi Jean,<div><br></div><div>Were you able to set up Shibboleth authentication using an opaque identifier so there's no release of personally identifiable information?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Hi Donna, We recently switched from EZProxy to Shibboleth for over 200 databases from our major vendors – Ebsco, Gale, and ProQuest.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">I started out working with our IT department – but once you learn what parameters are needed it’s pretty straightforward. Some vendors let you do it yourself
through the vendor’s administrator module. For some, you can email support and fill out a form. Basically, you need to know your institution’s IDP entity ID, federation, and scope.
<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">Also, the URLs for your resources need to be changed to remove your proxy prefix and/or sometimes append shibboleth and an account ID. I learned the hard way
on this and had to re-do over a hundred URLs.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">In the long run it has greatly improved our off-campus access to resources. And no more Oops! errors. So when we go to buy a new product, one of the first things
I ask is if they can be Shibboleth-authenticated – since many resources don’t play nice with EZProxy – and the stanzas change all the time.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Hello,<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">I am in the process of researching authentication methods for our students and faculty who use our databases and ejournals on and off campus. We currently have a library consortium managed EZ Proxy
but our director would like to switch to something in-house that we could manage. We fear that the EZ proxy is often serving as a barrier to the information resources we strive to make accessible to our community. Has anyone made the transition from EZ Proxy
to Shibboleth/Open Athens/SAML? I would love to hear more about the process and the details- what are the new products we need to buy? Do you have preferred vendors for these new products? Did you have to work with your IT department or is it something you
did yourself? Any and all comments are welcome.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
