Webinar: 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 free webinar, our speakers will 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
