David Orrell, Adam Snook. REFEDS 40, Tallinn https://openathens.org
Some background... • Project started back in 2016 to increase engagement from SPs (publishers) to adopt federated SSO • Common feedback from users is that IdP discovery still a hindrance to ‘mainstream’ adoption of federated SSO • We developed a hosted IdP discovery service as part of a broader project to deliver an OIDC -> SAML proxy (“Keystone”)
Beyond UX best-practice • Previous initiatives – NISO ESPRESSO • We needed a solution that worked out of the box...
Wayfinder • Hosted service launched September 2017 • Can be used as an alternative to a national federation WAYF • Works with any software supporting the SAML IdP Discovery Service Profile
Wayfinder • Previous IdP choices managed by user • Localised via MDUI • 99.999% uptime
Wayfinder • Embeddable JS widget (modal or inline) launched March 2019 • Working on a standalone on-boarding dashboard (later this year)
Future work • ManyRA21 UX guidelines being incorporated • Google “One Tap”, OpenYOLO may provide useful guidance • More customisation options – many niche use-cases within our community
