Hi.

We are just starting to investigate moving access some of our larger eResource vendors away from going through EZProxy and onto SSO/Shibboleth.  Our test case is JSTOR, and our Identity Management group that supports Shibboleth is asking about other libraries using the eduPersonEntitlement attribute.  We are specifically NOT interested in OpenAthens.

I'm also interested to know if anyone has a handle on a "standard" Shib attribute used by most/many of the larger vendors, or if this is going to be a rabbit hole where every vendor wants a different attribute and repeatedly negotiating with the IDM group for changes will put us on the "bad list".  

I'm open to other comments and criticisms about the whole idea too.  

Thanks,
Erich
