Myth busting with OpenAthens: Do you know your proxy from your SAML? Authentication is all the same right? As long as students can access content that’s all that matters… Wrong! For higher education institutions, ensuring secure and seamless access to online resources is crucial. During this webinar, our speakers dive into some common misconceptions and separate fact from fiction around federated and proxy authentication! Let's bust some myths! What we’ll cover: Myth #1: Proxy/IP recognition is just as secure as federated SSO Myth #2: Proxy/IP recognition is preferred for its simplicity Myth #3: Proxy/IP Recognition provides better access control Myth #4: Proxy/IP recognition is easier to manage Myth #5: You can’t have both Proxy /IP recognition AND federated SSO Presenters: Stephanie Kaceli, dean of educational resources and director of Masland Library, Cairn University Georgie Cadman, account manager, OpenAthens Gary Brewitt, technical consultant, OpenAthens https://bit.ly/44ATJBb
