This is the Raven Support Wiki.

"Raven is a service used by some University of Cambridge web sites to identify people so that decisions (such as granting or denying access) can be made based on who that person is. Raven is provided by the University Computing Service, and uses standard Computing Service user identifiers (CRSid) and 'Raven passwords' to identify people" -- http://www.cam.ac.uk/cs/raven/

This Wiki is provided to collect together resources, ideas and experiences from people using and deploying Raven within the University. Please feel free to contribute anything you feel to be appropriate. Currently access to this Wiki is restricted to people with Raven accounts. However read-only access may eventually be extended to anonymous users so please write with that in mind.

• Background and reference - information about the officially supported part of the Raven service, links to documentation and resources elsewhere, etc.
• Documentation and HOWTOs - additional documentation and HOWTOs
• Application agents - modules and libraries that implement Raven functionality.
• Raven-enabled applications - details of applications that have been adapted to use Raven for user authentication, in some cases with details of how it was done or links to additional resources.
• Raven-enabled services - services in the University that use Raven
