[Fim4l] Fwd: InCites now requires users to supply email address and create a new set of credentials

[Davide Vaghetti]

Hello everyone,

I've sent this message to the FOG mailing list about Clarivate's InCites
additional registration flow, but some Colleagues suggested that FIM4L
would have been a better venue for the topic.

Regards,
Davide

Hello everyone,

some IdP admins and Librarians alerted us about Clarivate's InCites
requiring an additional users registration after the Institutional
login. The flow is similar to what Elsevier introduced in sciencedirect,
but then rolled back, last year:

- it starts on https://incites.clarivate.com
- a user select "Sign in" and then "Institutional (Shibboleth) Sign In"
- once the authN flow is finished, the user is requested to register an
email address and then to set a password to access InCites

As in the case of Elsevier, the above has not been anticipated in any
way from Clarivate, which so far was letting users in with just a
transient nameid and ePSA.

Regards,
Davide
