Q. Can I use my existing SAML product to join the OpenAthens Federation?
Answer...
It depends. Some SAML 2.0 products can be configured to meet the requirements of the OpenAthens Federation, but not all are compatible out of the box.
Here’s what to consider:
- SAML 2.0 is not plug-and-play: It includes flexible options which may not align with federation requirements without custom configuration.
- OpenAthens follows the Interoperable SAML 2.0 Web Browser SSO Deployment Profile, making it consistent with other access management federations.
- If your current SAML tools can’t be configured to meet these requirements, OpenAthens Keystone is a lightweight, easy-to-deploy solution that can bridge the gap and integrate with your existing setup.
To find out if your setup is compatible, we recommend contacting the OpenAthens technical team for a quick assessment.
