It seems likely that at least some resources that are currently
Athens-protected will not provide direct Shibboleth access by the time
central funding of the Athens services ends in the summer of 2008. For
institutions considering replacing their use of Athens with Shibboleth,
the services of the Athens Shibboleth-to-Athens gateway will be crucial to
maintaining access to such resources.
Does anyone know what is planed for this gateway after then end of the
current funding? Or when such plans will be announced?
Jon.
