When setting up OpenAthens for ILLiad, do we set it up as an LDAP or a RemoteAuth connection?
Symptom
- You are setting up OpenAthens for ILLiad and you want to know if you should be using LDAP or RemoteAuth Authentication
Applies to
- ILLiad
Resolution
1. You should be using RemoteAuth Authentication using the RemoteAuth: Customizing Settings documentation along with EZproxy or just use LDAP Authentication using the LDAP Authentication: Customizing Settings.
2. If you are using Shibboleth and you are Self-hosted, Atlas has documentation on their Configuring ILLiad to Use OpenAthens documentation.

As of ILLiad v9.2, ILLiad can be configured to authenticate with OpenAthens via SAML, see RemoteAuth: Configuring the Integrated SAML Module
