OpenAthens Ideas Portal

We're always looking for ways to improve our products, and we'd love your input to help us make that happen. Your suggestions will guide us in deciding where we should focus our future research and development.

Just sign in with your email to share your thoughts or vote for ideas you like—it'll help them get noticed!


Here’s how the portal is organised:

  • Librarians (Identity Providers): Share ideas that help organisations that manage user identities and provide access to online content and services. This includes improving the experience for students and researchers.

  • Publishers (Service Providers): Share ideas for organisations that offer content and services.

Auto-update certificates for 1:1 connections

Our customers who utilize 1:1 connections create enterprise apps in Entra and periodically the X509 certificates expire. We currently ask them to send us updated metadata xml with the new x509 certificate, then we manually upload the new metadata into the SP dashboard.
