"***MIMAS announce Athens Single Sign On for ISI Web of
Science***
ISI Web of Science Service for UK Education is happy to announce
that following the successful testing of the Athens Single Sign On
facility, we will be introducing this for the ISI Web of Science
service and its related products during March 2002.
With the Athens Single Sign On (AthensSSO) services, the user
will NOT be prompted for their Athens username/password when
they accesses a second AthensSSO-authenticated service in the
same browser session.
Please have a try via the temporary web page:
http://wos.mimas.ac.uk/ssologin.html Note, this page will be
deleted once AthensSSO has been implemented.
A notice "Athens Single Sign On is here!" which was posted to
[log in to unmask] on 12/02/02 gives a good description
of AthensSSO and the benefits of its application. You can read this
email at the following url: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-
bin/wa.exe?A2=ind0202&L=athens&O=D&F=&S=&P=533
Put simply, the aim is to minimise the number of authentication
challenges presented to our users. Other Athens-authenticated
services will follow-suit during 2002."
