Hi Marie Lack of IP authentication has also been raised as an issue by academic colleagues at the University of Kent. Like others we favour Shibboleth but also use EZproxy. We have a restricted profile that we use for Walk-In users. As well as providing a consistent experience (although this is vulnerable to the challenge that it is consistently difficult compared with IP authentication) it also allows us to provide access to our network to folk who are not, in strict licensing terms, members of the University (something academic colleagues have also requested). Like others I'm following this discussion with interest as it doesn't feel like we are meeting our customers' expectations at the moment.

Hi all, Many thanks for all of your responses so far. It's interesting reading. I will be collating responses for the group but just wanted to point out that they will be anonymised.

Hi all, We use PingFederate (SAML) and EZproxy on campus. IP is no longer an option because we have a web filter in operation which obscures our IP range. The latter set up has caused some issues because we have found that, if we go direct to a site, we are sometimes recognised as another organisation using the same web filter. They have presumably provided the eresource supplier with the shared web filter IP range. We had some feedback in the beginning, but certainly nothing has reached me in recent times.

Hi all, I'd be very interested to see what other institutions do. We're also on IP, EZproxy and Shibboleth at the moment. Would Shibboleth-only authentication present problems for walk-in users for instance?

Same here. We use a range of authentication but obviously Shibboleth is more secure than IP and we are trying to move that way. It's hard to do it with everything though so would be really interested to hear others experiences.

Hi Marie, We do not do this - we have access via a mixture of Shibboleth, IP and EZproxy - but I would be very interested to hear the responses to this thread, if you were able to collate and share with the group.

Dear all, Some years ago we switched off IP access on campus in favour of relying on shibboleth authentication and our proxy server from on and off campus. There is some resistance to this now with some users advising that we are the only University that have done this so I would be very interested to find out if any others have also switched off IP authentication, and any feedback that they have received following this. Happy for replies on or off list and to collate answers for the group if any interest.
