PropertyValue
p:abstract
  • Athens is an Access and Identity Management service that is supplied by Eduserv to provide single sign-on to protected resources combined with full user management capability. Organisations adopting the Athens service can choose between the Classic Athens service, where usernames are held by Eduserv, or Local Authentication where usernames are held locally and security tokens are exchanged via a range of protocols: SAML, Shibboleth or Athens Devolved Authentication (AthensDA) [http://www.athensams.net/local_auth/athensda/]. Over 4.5 million users worldwide can gain access to over 300 protected online resources via the Athens service. Athens replaces the multiple usernames and passwords necessary to access subscription based content with a single username and password that can be entered once per session. It operates independently of a user’s location or IP address. (en)
