[Fim4l] LexisNexis Advance

Hello,

we can check Elsevier Science Direct for inspiration as well.  Here
eduPersonEntitlement is used for authorisation and eduPersonTargetedID
is used for recognising returning users and for personalisation. So the
right fit
of requested attributes here could be:
- eduPersonEntitlement (required)
- eduPersonTargetedID (optional)

If eduPersonTargetedID attribute is released according to user consent then
the user
is in charge whether he/she could use personalisation or prefers anonymous
access.

This set of requested attributes in Elsevier SD metadata [1] is registered
in  Australian Access Federation and in IDEM.

There is a vast variety of other requested attributes sets ranging from
- eduPersonEntitlement (required)
- eduPersonTargetedID (required)
(eduID.at, RENATER, SWITCHaai, Edugate, LIAF)
via
- eduPersonEntitlement (required)
(DFN-AAI)
and
- eduPersonEntitlement (optional)
- eduPersonTargetedID (optional)
(InCommon)
to
no required attributes at all.
(eduGAIN/UK Federation, Belnet, CAFe, CARSI, CORFe, GakuNin)

There are also federations where eduPersonScopedAffiliation is among
required attributes and
federations where there is eduPersonTargetedID attribute required only.


Take care, stay healthy
