John,
...and I should have better things to do than answer today, but - yes, you do
need to ask us to switch. However, as I said in another email, we
haven't got a
way of moving your Zetoc Alert folks. This is something we should work on with
you.
Cheers,
Ross

>> As part of our moves to fully support the UK Access

>> Where_Are_You_From (WAYF) service within Zetoc on 4th February 2008.
>>
>> The Zetoc WAYF will *only* be displayed when the user would

>> Institutional login page. Most access to Zetoc Search is via
>> IP-authentication, which will continue as now. This change
>> will be most evident for Zetoc Alert.
>>
>> The user will need to select their home institution from the
>> pull-down lists, which are grouped for ease of use. Groups
>> are: Universities, Colleges by Region, Research Councils,
>> Republic of Ireland, Miscellaneous Organisations and UK
>> Federation/Shibboleth Test Sites. They will then be routed to
>> their *current* login page.
>>
>> Sites can *preview* the Zetoc WAYF via:
>> Alert http://zetoc.mimas.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wayf?A
>>
>> From the 4th February, the WAYF will be moved to the live service.
>>
>> Mimas welcomes any feedback from the community and would be
>> pleased to work with any sites in testing their Identity
>> Provider installation and in assisting them when going live.
