Hi Tom,
I'd be really interested to hear in detail what Highwire told you re their federated provision via mobile, or their apparent lack if it.
Thanks

We first reported it in November 2013, I believe it was, and after 12 months of occasional prodding (and lord knows how many times of patiently re-explaining that it's not a subscription issue because the error message was happening before we had the chance to log in!), we were finally informed that Highwire has never supported Shibboleth access via mobile devices. Good to know where we stand...

We're getting a message to say that our institution has not been set up for Shibboleth, which is amazing, because at the point at which we see the error, we have yet to specify our institution!

I've also been told by someone at the UK Access Management Federation that the technical/admin person for this particular service provider has left and not been replaced, so I'm not sure how far I'm going to get.
