For years, many corporations and academic institutions have relied on Internet Protocol (IP) addresses – numerical labels assigned to devices when connected to a computer network – to provide access to their enterprise subscriptions.
In today’s distributed network environment, however, IP authentication has outlived its useful life. When attempting to access subscribed content and other resources while off-site or on off-network mobile devices, many end-users can find themselves shut out.
On Thursday, November 15, Copyright Clearance Center welcomed Helen Malone of GlaxoSmithKline and Ralph Youngen of the American Chemical Society to learn about the findings from a corporate pilot by the Resource Access for the 21st Century initiative (RA21) that focused on best practices for adopting federated identity to streamline the user experience for access.
The successful outcomes of the corporate pilot focused on three key goals:
- Improved user login experience
- Provision for granular usage statistics
- Set-up and maintenance of “Single Sign-On”
CCC’s Lauren Tulloch moderated the discussion. To view the webinar, click here.
