Authentication

Coherent supports the authentication methods libraries rely on — IP authentication, EZproxy, SAML (Shibboleth and OpenAthens), registered-user accounts, and HAN. All are included with every subscription, and our team configures your access during onboarding so users get a seamless experience from day one.

TCP/IP authentication — IP address range authentication via The IP Registry.

EZproxy — find links to our OCLC database stanzas.

Registered user authentication — create a personalized account with an institutional email.

SAML (Shibboleth, OpenAthens) — configure federated SAML or bi-lateral metadata exchange.
