Identity in Education
• Consider the functions of identity in the discovery to delivery process
Identity before authentication
Discovery to Delivery
rather than
Access and Authentication
“What is JISC doing about Standards on Publisher interfaces?”
• New Federation tools to support institutions and publishers
• Invite input into development of some new tools
JISC Collections
Nice tool on UKSG site – email links just like modern social networking sites.
A personal semi fictionalised journey but based on real events
JISC Collections
There is the resource - Option for institutional login. But where I am I really going to click institutional login click first or the PDF I have come for?
JISC Collections
Now I’m confused. As a student / librarian don’t we normally get this sort of thing for free?How many lost souls have paid when they didn’t have to. How many have NOT PAID. A lot of web piracy is because it is easy….Anyhow, finally pick institutional login.
JISC Collections
But yet Password front and centre.Almost looks like it is fishing for Federated credentialsIt’s UKsg so why not have UK federtion at top?
JISC Collections
Now what’s happened. It says recognized as…. But also says LOGIN still (not log out).I’m back at the start – implies I’ve failed to login (although I have).Where is the resource, I clicked on a link- didn’t pay attention to name or number -Now I’m lost.
JISC Collections
Ok start searching again – I’m lucky here- only one issue of insight to search through.
JISC Collections
Still not even on the right pageUsers don’t care about what was before or after just want to to the target.
JISC Collections
Many clicks and lengths of string later
JISC Collections
How it can be done
Login options offer types of authentication and choice of time of authentication.
JISC Collections
Inclusion of MDUI data (institution and service provider logo and branding) offer a clear journey to the user.
JISC Collections
It is now clear I have logged in as the option available now has changed to logout.
JISC Collections
Like it or not, users will come via Google

Some clever guys at Cardiff…Phil Smart and Dr Rhys Smith
JISC Collections
Wugen: What is does
• Tool for librarians to create Wayfless URLs.– A-Z lists e.g. library portal, so skip WAYF
• Automatically constructs a Wayfless URL based on provided Idp, Sp and Target.
• Quality of Wayfless URL– Different types, some subject to change more than
others.
JISC Collections
Wugen: How it works
JISC Collections
Wugen: Who runs it?
• One instance per federation, not per institution.
• Full version 1 available, but needs more testing.
• Needs work to be released by the FederationNot available in shops yet – need your
feedback!
JISC Collections
RAPTOR: The same clever guys at Cardiff
JISC Collections
RAPTOR; Why?
• Athens -> Shibboleth = loss of stats
• Stats important for making budgetary decisions about eResources
• Raptor is a Java based AuthN system log file parser
• Shibboleth, Ezproxy, OpenAthens, FreeRadius
• Future release may see some integration directly in Shibboleth
• Designed for non technical users. But will have technical components.
• Statistics per institution as well as aggregated to higher levels e.g. UK federation
