Hi All,
Thanks to everyone who has replied; I’m slightly relieved to see that it’s not just us who are experiencing this long-term problem. Interesting that clearing cookies has worked for some of you some of the time,
because when we tried that it had no effect. It seems that Welsh and Scottish institutions suffering the most – it’s an anti-Celtic conspiracy!
Fingers crossed this will be resolved soon; if anyone gets a progress update from Lexis, please let me know.
Cheers,
Tom

We’re getting the “error contacting you identity provider” message too – for both Lexis Library and Nexis. It’s inconsistent for us – sometimes you will connect via shibboleth and get in fine, other attempts
return the error message. We are finding that sometimes after clearing browser cache cookies and retrying, the user gets in on a second attempt, but not always.
LexisNexis have advised us that their technical team are still working on resolving the issue.
Best wishes,
Fiona

Hi Tom
I had one today, it only lasted 30 seconds or so, but it did cache on my browser.
Cheers

Hi All,
Back in August we had users from off campus reporting that when they tried to log in to Lexis Library they would be met with a message saying there was an "error contacting your identity provider". LexisNexis contacted me a week or so later
to say that the problem was fixed, but our users were/are still having trouble. LexisNexis’ technical team has carried on working on a fix since then, but no joy so far. I’m just curious: are we the only ones having this problem?
Cheers,
Tom
