JISC outlines the transition from Athens to Shibboleth

' jisc conference report

The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) is throwing its weight behind the UK Access Management Federation and will cease funding Athens authentication, which allows university users access to all the resources their institution has paid for with a single password.

Athens authentication will continue to be available, but JISC will cease funding it after July 2008. Users will need to subscribe individually and pay the Athens fee if they want to continue to go through the Athens gateway.

JISC has set up a transition programme -- the Middleware Assisted Take Up (MATU) service -- to support institutions' decision-making about access management choices.

John Robinson, services operations director at JISC, said moving to federated access management would address the problem of multiple user names.
