The Resource Access in the 21st Century (RA21) project has been developing pilot technology to improve the user experience of SAML-based authentication. The solutions aims to improve the user experience and do so in a privacy-protecting way. This session will report out the progress of the pilot technology developments and the movement toward an industry recommended practice. Two RA21 pilot technologies will be demonstrated and discussions will also center on how the resulting efforts have been built around the library community values of protecting privacy.
