Authentication to OTA failed for user from University of Tübingen

[martin.wynne@bodleian.ox.ac.uk]

We received the following message (appended below) and I would like to ask for the latest pro forma message that we need to send to institutions under these circumstances. I was given a message to use last year (see ticket #1087), but the links in it are not up to date any more.

Best,
Martin

Dear Sir or Madam,

a user of our university library has tried to access the "York-Toronto-Helsinki Parsed Corpus of Old English prose (YCOE)" of the Oxford Text Archive.

​https://ota.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/repository/xmlui/handle/20.500.12024/2462

When trying to log in, the user received the following message: "The login process can't continue because your home institution (​https://idp.uni-tuebingen.de/shibboleth) did not send the required information.". Could you please tell us exactly what values need to be sent via Shibboleth in order for access to be granted? Is there also a possibility to access the service without revealing personal data?

Thanks in advance!

With kind regards

Felix Flumm

That's right, we recently updated the template. This is the current version:

Dear $ADDRESSEE,

On behalf of one of the Service Providers from the CLARIN Service Provider Federation (SPF) [1] we would like to inform you that users from your home organisation tried to access a protected service or resource but were unable to do so because your Identity Provider has not released all the mandatory attributes.

All the Service Providers in the CLARIN SPF are:
1) implementing the GÉANT Data Protection Code of Conduct [2];
2) are members of the REFEDS Research and Scholarship Entity Category[3];
3) are CLARIN members and have the ​http://clarin.eu/category/clarin-member Entity Category which you can use for filtering.

Therefore, we kindly ask you to implement a filter releasing the required attributes to all CLARIN SPF members.The latest authentication attempt was to:

SP entityID=$YOURENTITYID
Attributes released:
$ATTRIBUTE1
$ATTRIBUTE2

Please, see the recommendation from the DFN federation which attributes to release to CLARIN SPF SPs and how to do it:
​https://doku.tid.dfn.de/de:shibidp:config-attributes-clarin
or see the CLARIN's attribute profile described at
​https://www.clarin.eu/content/attributes-service-provider-federation .

Kind Regards,
$SENDER
