Shibboleth
Shibboleth is the emerging standard for identity-based access. Semantico’s access management technology offers full support for Shibboleth version 1.3 and 2.0.
Shibboleth creates a trust relationship, facilitating federated, single sign-on access and offering improved data security and convenience for end-users. The new generation of Shibboleth-enabled SAMS systems give more streamlined and powerful options for institutional users and publishers.
Semantico’s support for Shibboleth allows institutions more easily to comply with the direction currently being given by JISC, which recently announced its decision to move from Athens to ‘a new generation access management service, based on the Shibboleth technology’, and is encouraging its stakeholders to embrace federated access.
The new Shibboleth-enabled version of SAMS has already been successfully deployed with several of Semantico’s major clients and further implementations are underway.
