Roper iPoll Shibboleth Instructions

The Roper iPoll application supports single-sign-on via Shibboleth as an authentication option for our member institutions who already have Shibboleth implemented.

The configuration for connecting to Roper iPoll as a service provider is outlined below:

Roper Center Service Provider (SP) Metadata:

The Roper iPoll application is configured to read the following attributes from the identity provider (IdP).

SAML2 Name (URN)

 

Datatype

String

email

urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.6

In order to better address concerns regarding digital privacy, the only required attribute from the table above is the uid. The other values are used for a better overall user experience (e.g. features such as search history and persistent folders) but can be omitted from the IdP response.

The Roper Center also uses the eduPersonAffiliation attribute to determine the membership level an individual has with your institution. We default these values to faculty, staff, and student. Please review this and verify if any changes are needed to allow faculty, staff and students to have access to the Roper Center.

By default, Alumni audiences are excluded from accessing the archive. If an institution would like to extend access to their alumni audience, a non-standard membership agreement would need to be created and executed.
