Hi there
If it helps antone, Eduserv also recommended to us this format (who use old-styleAthensDA with Shib hosted by Eduserv), which works for us:
https://auth.elsevier.com/ShibAuth/institutionLogin?entityID=[IdP ENTITY ID]&appReturnURL=http://www.sciencedirect.com/
though we may have lost some saved searches etc in the process, and user has to go through "Activate Personalization" which (yes annoyingly I agree) they had to before.
It's a shame the student experience is never to the fore in these things - given the amount of money we pay for such resources.
Many thanks
Mark

Subject: [lis-e-resources] ScienceDirect following authentication changes
Hi all,
Following the changes to authentication to ScienceDirect that took place over the weekend we find ourselves completely unable to access ScienceDirect off-campus, and it looks like we've been completely excised from the Eduserv OpenAthens list as well as the UK Fed list. We are using OpenAthens with the Athens to Shibboleth gateway, so it might be that this is not affecting everyone, but is anyone else having problems?
I've sent a message to Elsevier but the auto-reply I got suggested that they are having a large amount of messages to deal with and they may not be able to get back to me in the usual timeframe, which of course appears not to be detailed on the auto-reply...
Thanks.
Sarah
