Shibboleth - SFX Integration Question

[Brian Larsen]

I apologize, I am fairly new to supporting Shibboleth for JSTOR. I am trying to track down an answer for a customer about a configuration in their SFX link resolver.


The institution asks...


In order to enable direct linking we need to insert the Shibboleth value from JSTOR into SFX. This value needs to obtained from JSTOR.

To enable direct linking through SFX without being prompted for authentication, please send me the Shibboleth value which we then insert into the linking parameters in SFX.


I am unclear exact what value they are seeking here. Anyone have any experience with this that might lend me a hand?


Best,
