Authenticating your DSpace users with OpenAthens

ByKnowledgeArc

We have been hard at work deploying OpenAthens integrations with DSpace for the National Health Service.

OpenAthens is a centralized identity and access control mechanism provided by Eduserv, moving identities to cloud so that users can log in with the same details across multiple web applications and sites.

We have recently completed the successful deployment of OpenAthens for the Nottinghamshire’s NHS Foundation Trust, using DSpace’s Shibboleth authentication client.

If you are considering OpenAthen’s authentication for your DSpace repository, or if you are struggling with an integration and need assistance, we are here to help. We have Single Sign-on experts available to address your needs.
