I've heard that some do but I don't have experience working with them. Here is Ebsco's page explaining what they will do with SSOs: https://help.ebsco.com/interfaces/EBSCOadmin/Admin_User_Guide/SSO_Authentication_FAQs Jean Phillips Associate Dean, Technology and Digital Scholarship l Florida State University Libraries 116 Honors Way, 018 l Tallahassee, FL 32306 l 850.645.0700 l [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> ________________________________ From: Code for Libraries <[log in to unmask]> on behalf of Pennington, Buddy D. <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, August 9, 2017 3:44:07 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Wanted: Good overview article comparing new authentication/access control options (Shibboleth, OpenAthens, SAML, etc.)? Do vendors even directly support SSO? We use SSO to enable users to authenticate into EZProxy for IP-based access to our electronic resources. I didn't think cutting out EZProxy and just going with SSO was an option.

I'll second Bethany's point on many smaller vendors just now moving to IP authentication. If it consoles campus IT tell them they are right....it has been at least 10 years since I have been hearing that proxy servers are a thing of the past, but that the working normal across most libraries is IP/proxy authentication.
