Re: O'Reilly / Safari EZproxy Shared Secret/Single Sign On

Hi Adam,

I can't quite remember why but we opted to use SAML instead of the EZproxy shared secret method. It's a bit troublesome because the O'Reilly SAML SP isn't in the UK Access Management Federation (or InCommon, or OpenAthens federation) and they "expect" name and email address attributes to be released, but it didn't take a year to set up and it does work.

Cheers,
Laurence

Subject: [EZPROXY-L] O'Reilly / Safari EZproxy Shared Secret/Single Sign On

Hi all

We've recently been told by O'Reilly that we can't use the OCLC Safari Books Online stanza anymore and now need to use their EZproxy Shared Secret/Single Sign On method.

I've just been checking through emails to this group though and finding some worrying accounts of this taking a year to set up and still not working properly!

Does anyone have any current positive or negative experiences of this new method, as would really appreciate hearing them before going ahead with this? Please contact me off-list if you prefer.

All the best
Adam
