Shibboleth Identity Provider migrated to an MS Azure v4 IdP instance last year as part of our SSO environment. The EZproxy piece of the puzzle facilitated integration with the Knowledge Base and OpenURL product in a way that OA couldn’t quite manage at the
time. That might be why OA subsequently provided a hosted version of EZproxy. <o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">I thought that one major benefit of OA over ezproxy is that OA doesn't just authenticate the patron into our institutional account with the provider, but also creates a possibly-anonymous individual
user account for those platforms that offer an enriched experience if the user creates a personal account within our institutional account, like My EBSCOhost within EBSCOhost.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Possibly anonymous because it depends on the way it's all configured and the options on the provider's side.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">If you are using that option, wouldn't dropping to Azure-only lose that? And possibly cause the patrons to lose access to those anonymized accounts that they might have set up contents alerts,
saved searches, etc. in?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’m a new subscriber and I apologize in advance if this has been answered multiple times through the years, but when I try to search the archives, I keep receiving an error message.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US">We currently use Open Athens for our database authentication, and our university uses Microsoft Azure for email, intranet, and LMS sign in. When we set up Open Athens, our IT department connected Azure’s Active Directory
with Open Athens, so patrons have an SSO experience. So when patrons try to access a library database, they see Microsoft’s sign-in. Also, if patrons sign into to the LMS, or the university’s portal before accessing the library website, they’re not prompted
to authenticate again for database access. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="xmsonormal"><span lang="EN-US">This may be an obvious question, but we’re trying to determine if we still need Open Athens or if Microsoft Azure provides the only authentication piece we need. From what I’ve read, Azure authenticates the user, but
Open Athens is what gives the authenticated user access to the licensed content, so I think OA is needed. Like a lot of other schools, our budget is getting tighter and Open Athens is not inexpensive. Since administering our databases is only part of my
job (small library, many hats), I don’t know all of the tech aspects in depth, so your input and advice is appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
