Eduserv Athens Shibboleth interoperability

Eduserv has developed the new generation of the Athens product to incorporate full SAML and Shibboleth interoperability. For more information on Shibboleth, see our Introduction to Shibboleth.

This development programme has been agreed with the JISC as part of the JISC Athens Access Management Service for UK Higher and Further Education, and fits within the JISC strategy of building a Shibboleth-based framework for authentication and authorisation. For more information, see the set of JISC Core Middleware Development Programmes.
