### “the Liblynx connection has been implemented successfully and with ease”

### Laurent Piroelle, Lead Developer

### The Challenge

#### Personalizing the experience for anonymous users

#### Personalization

Medici want to convert users of their educational service into lifelong subscribers to their individual service. Their legacy identity & access solution only supported anonymous IP authentication, requiring them to force users to register in order to deliver a more personalized service.

#### Single Sign-On (SSO)

SAML-based development was a distraction for a small IT team, and fell outside their core skill sets.

#### Custom Authentication Solutions

Some customers wanted support for custom authentication techniques that weren’t cost-effective for Medici to develop internally.

#### Scalability

Medici wanted a scalable solution that could cost-effectively support the customer growth expected with their new, educational platform.

### How We Helped

#### On-ramp to drive user identification and personalization

#### User Engagement (SSO)

We use SAML attributes to automatically create accounts for new users, enabling Medici to recognize returning visitors and build up a profile of their interests. If an anonymous visitor’s IP address is associated with an institution supporting Shibboleth, our WAYF page will automatically transfer them to their institutional login page.

#### User Engagement (IP

We gave Medici granular control over whether IP-authenticated users were given the option (or required) to register in order to personalize their experience, redirecting to a branded ‘Who Are You’ page as needed.

#### Roaming Access

IP-authenticated users with a valid email address can login off-campus using that email address and a password for a configurable period, to simply access.

#### Single Sign-On

Support staff simply select customers from our federation pick-list, and LibLynx handles all the technical details, including custom SAML integrations such as Archimed.

#### Easy Administration

Our web-based portal makes it quick and easy to setup institutional and corporate accounts with access, including custom authentication options as appropriate.

#### Automated backup

All customer and account data is automatically backed up to Medici’s servers using our backup API.

### The Implementation: Integration of the LibLynx API

Medici’s technical team implemented our API **“with ease”** using our in-depth documentation and supporting tools, and with minimal input from us.
