How can we improve Summon?

← Summon

Add SAML / federated / "Shibboleth" login option for saved searches

As the Summon Saved Searches function is being developed, options for authentication and storage using external web-scale identity systems have been added - Google account authentication / Google Drive, and Microsoft account authentication / Microsoft OneDrive.

My institution has avoided promoting this new feature because we have a strong policy of requiring all authentication to institutional systems, to be via institutional login.

I would like to see a SAML-based, federated (i.e. UK Access Management Federation) authentication option for this feature.

    Yes, we agree!
    Please add SAML SSO to your authenticate options and also as a replacement for the proxy.

    I would like to see this extended to the saved items folder as well, so that logged in users can save items as well as searches.
