Some Background 1995: Athens developed by NISS (National Information Services and Systems) at University of Bath as an in-house system. 1996: eLib Study ‘Technologies to Support Authentication in Higher Education’ identified Athens as a potential solution for all JISC Services. 1997: Athens in use in all JISC Data Centres and rolled out across HEIs / FEIs over the next two years. 1998: CNI White Paper on AAA requirements. JISC commits to using as a basis for next- generation technologies. 1997 – 2000: three year contract for Athens provision with University of Bath and then Eduserv. 2000 – 2008: two three year plus one two year contract with Eduserv for Athens provision. 2000: Alan Robiette and JCAS scope requirements for next generation access management system (ANGEL project starts testing Shibboleth and PAPI technologies). 2002 – 2004: AAA Programme – audit of next generation technologies and ratification of requirements. 2004 – 2007: Core Middleware Programmes. JISC decision to support federated access management. 2006 – 2009: Access Management: Transition Programme. Roll-out and embedding. Joint Information Systems Committee 06/11/2007 | slide 3

The Requirements A single access management system for: – Intra-institutional resources. – Third party digital library type resources. – Inter-institutional resources for secure long-term collaboration. – Inter-institutional resources for ad-hoc (virtual organisation) collaboration. Evolving strategy: – Where possible, JISC should focus on fostering development and use of standards rather than specific technologies. – Institutions should have the widest possible range of options, from full open source to commercial support. – Solutions should be in line with international developments in the field. – Solution must provide real benefits to institutions and service providers.
