Latest revision as of 11:42, 3 March 2020

We're working on improving Raven resources for developers and site operators.

Try out the new Raven documentation for size.

This section of the Wiki lists University services that are making use of Raven. As well as providing an advertisment for each service, this list (though it will never be complete) may prove useful in demonstrating the take-up of Raven and in ensuring that it continues to receive the support and resources that it needs.

Please extend this list.

Central Services

University Information Services

Various web sites, including http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/, http://www.camsis.cam.ac.uk/, allows access to 'university only' material to anyone who can authenticate via Raven.

The University Student Information System, CamSIS, uses Raven for all user authentication.

Various web sites, including the University main web site, allows access to 'University only' material to anyone who can authenticate via Raven.

The web interface to the lookup Directory requires Raven authentication.

The UIS administrative database, Jackdaw, manages @cam e-mail addresses and IP addresses and uses Raven to identify its users.

Access to results from the Friendly probing system are available via Raven authentication.

The wireless networking service, Lapwing uses RAven for user authentication.

Acces to the index which lists both publicly available documents, and documents restricted to University of Cambridge maintained by the University-wide search engine is possible from outside the University network for Raven-authenticated users.

The Raven and Techlinks Wikis use Raven to identify users.

Problems using any of these services should be refereed to the UIS Service Desk.

University Library

Access to electronic resources, including ejournals

  1. Most online resources are available without restriction to users on the University network. The exceptions will need to be Raven authenticated and authorised via Lookup.
  2. Access to resources from outside the University network is available to people who can authenticate via Raven but they must also have the status or MIS status field populated in their Lookup record. This will have either staff or student.
  3. People with Raven IDs who don't have this attribute can apply to be put on a whitelist. To do this they must email raven@lib.cam.ac.uk but will need to provide evidence of their status in the University.

Access to iDiscover
Please note that it's not necessary to logon to iDiscover in order to use it. Logging on allows searches to be saved and items on loan to be requested, but the vast majority of material can be accessed without logging on. To log on a person must either have a University card or have registered at a library.

Access to Alma
Access to Alma, the library management system (which controls ordering and cataloguing of material, registration of users, loans, etc.) is via Raven. Requests for access must be done by a member of staff of a departmental or college library.

External access to the Library Intranet
Selected sections of the Libraries@Cambridge site, mainly documentation for librarians, uses Raven to identify its users.

Student Run Computing Facility

The SRCF provides the mod_ucam_webauth module to allow users and societies to use Raven easily.

Departments

University Information Services

Uses Raven internally to control access to a Wiki (Mediawiki), a request ticketing system (RT), some other 'Intranet' resources.

Cavendish Laboratory

Uses Raven internally to control access to the register of IP addresses. Research groups which are part of the Cavendish use Raven to provide authentication services for room booking systems MRBS and to track resource usage.

Raven authentication used for online booking form (php), and access to many web pages (e.g. computing information) that were previously limited by DNS name/IP address.

Centre for Applied Research in Educational Technologies

Users of Camtools are authenticated via Raven.

CamTools is an implimentation of the Sakai VLE.

Department of Applied Maths and Theoretical Physics

[ Still testing parts so more will be added later ]

Access control to various web based resources (e.g. damtp-only pages, also in use for our (test) (RT) server. We have a setup to allow Raven authenticated access to our laptop network Lapnet.

Department of Chemistry

Many web pages are now authenticated with Raven and sometimes with host-based authentication as well, such as: the Dept. telephone book, internal computing information (particularly security), network connection application form and [MRBS] installs

Distribution of Mathematica software under the unlimited licence deal.

Computer Officers wiki for shared documentation and project development notes.
