This subtasks deals with the pilots for Libraries. We distinguish three types of pilots to be addressed:
- The high level goal of this pilot is to involve end-users (Libraries) in the identification and hands-on implementation of relevant solutions to support their migration from IP-based authentication against publishers' online resources to the SAML (federated) approach: A library might have in place its federated IDP to authenticate users against, and be willing to access both federated and non federated SPs through an SSO-proxy.
- Libraries will have to access both SAML-resources and non-SAML ones; more over, they might make use of contracts in place already with publishers relying on IP-based AuthN, and be willing to access both kind of resources (SAML & non-SAML). Therefore also the case of accessing SAML-resources (SPs) by providing to them attributes released in the base of the IP address is a relevant option for a use case to be demonstrated as a high-level goal for this pilot.
- A third high level goal is to evaluate the possibility to demonstrate the use case of a proxy portal in place for many libraries to be willing to access resources based on IP based Authentication.
