TDNet Remote Access
A Seamless Path to Content
Streamline authentication and access to your library's subscribed resources with single sign-on (SSO) via OpenAthens, powered by TDNet – enhancing library operations and increasing resource engagement and value.
Simple and Secure Access
Complete Solution
To do their essential work, researchers must be able to access information resources anywhere, at any time, and on any device. With TDNet, users are instantly authenticated to all subscription-based resources through SAML-based federated access built on the OpenAthens Federation – combined with a managed proxy service for resources that rely solely on IP authentication.
Single-Sign-On and Controlled Authentication
Library users can securely connect to e-resources using their existing network credentials. TDNet’s OpenAthens service can integrate with your existing local directory through a variety of methods (including SAML, IDC, LDAP, and REST-based API). For organizations unable to integrate their authentication system, a managed directory setup is available.
Complete Privacy and Personalized Research Experience
Keep your users’ information completely safe by ensuring all data is encrypted, with anonymized identifiers used by default. At the same time, libraries can selectively share user attributes with service providers to prevent misuse and enable users to automatically log into publishers’ platforms, accessing personalization features with ease.
Enhance Library Operations
Identity and Access Management
TDNet’s OpenAthens service acts as a bridge between your users and content providers. Libraries and information centers can make resources accessible anytime and anywhere – as well as easily manage user accounts and access permissions.
Detailed Analytics
By streamlining access for users, you maximize the potential of your library’s information resources. A rich reporting module offers insight into resource usage, with detailed breakdowns by user group as well as reporting on authentication numbers and account activity – enabling you to make content acquisition decisions that are rooted in value.

TDNet’s OpenAthens helps you abide by new publishing industry standards and terms of use for content and services. Easily transition to single sign-on and Federated Access – which is more advanced, reliable, and secure.
