How do I setup Shibboleth/Open Athens access?

Modified on Thu, Jul 6, 2023 at 2:43 PM

If you are the administrator of the institutional account, logon to the Librarian Portal click on 'Access Options'  and under Shibboleth Information click 'Edit':


On the Shibboleth page, enter your Entity ID, Federation, and eduPersonScopedAffiliation in the appropriate field.  All three fields are mandatory. Then, click 'save'. If you need further assistance, click "More About Shibboleth Entity ID Authentication Instructions" 



After the account is updated, you should be able to authenticate via Shibboleth or Open Athens.   


If you have any difficulty entering your details, please contact help@aip.org for assistance.
