What Shibboleth architectures does MathWorks support?

Answer 1

[MathWorks Support Team]

MathWorks is able to support two types of Federation Architectures:

• Full Mesh Federations
• Hub & Spoke Federation with Distributed Login

These architectures represent 95% of the federations worldwide. Currently, we do not support "Hub & Spoke Federation with Central Login" because we can't verify that every user within the federation could gain access to the license. The reason being, that the login goes over one IdP and the universities do not have their own Shibboleth setup. Examples of federations with such a setup are FEIDE (Norway) & AAI@EduHr (Croatia).

More information on the architectures can be found on the Shibboleth wiki page:
