What authentication process does Sage Catalyst use?

Sage Catalyst has personalisation features that allow individual students to interact with resources and download parts of textbooks. We therefore use a more fully featured authentication method than may be traditional for a ‘textbook’ supplier.

Sage Catalyst only supports SAML authentication with your university identity provider SAML supporting systems are: 

• Shibboleth
• Open Athens LA
• Open Athens MD 
• Ping Federate 
• Microsoft ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services) 
• Microsoft Azure Active Directory 
• CAS (Apereo)

If your identity provider is available via EduGAIN, there is a good chance we can work with your Authentication System. If it is not, we will need to exchange some metadata with you.
