As part of our ongoing programme of maintenance for Prism, we have updated our metadata required to secure the Single Sign-On feature as part of the Prism release on 29th July 2021.
Customers using SAML based authentication systems, such as Shibboleth, CAS or Open Athens, will need to apply our updated metadata to their systems.
Please download the updated metadata from the link below and ensure the encryption and signing certificates are updated on your Identity Provider before our existing metadata expires on 20th August 2020.
The new metadata is available online, direct from your existing Prism tenancy, as below:
https://prism.librarymanagementcloud.co.uk/<your-tenancy-name>/saml/module.php/saml/sp/metadata.php/default-sp
In the above, just replace <your-tenancy-name> with your tenancy.
For example, the metadata for the /birmingham/ tenancy would be:
https://prism.librarymanagementcloud.co.uk/birmingham/saml/module.php/saml/sp/metadata.php/default-sp
Please ensure you have downloaded the metadata and updated your systems before our existing metadata expires on 20th August 2020.

The Prism stock purchase request form has been updated so that it only records a collection site if one is selected. Where the field is hidden or the user leaves it containing a hypen (as below in the screen shot), then the Stock Purchase Request will not record a collection site.
The certificate used to provide Single Sign-On solutions with SAML based Identify Providers will expire on 20th August 2021. In order to provide a non-disruptive service, we have added our new certificate into the Prism system, allowing you to update your Identity Provider, ensuring no break in service.
Please update your Identify Provider metadata with our new certificate as soon as possible, but no later than 20th August and also update your single sign on configuration to use our new URLs for Prism.
Please review the preview version as early as possible, to become familiarise yourself with the new functionality and check that your tenancy still behaves as expected in terms of functionalities, including extensions, and styling.

Hello
We sent out an email on Friday 30th April 2021 (see the end of this post) advising that the domain names and URLs that are being used to access our systems are changing.
We have now added the new URL to the Prism preview environment to enable you to test it in this context. You can still use the old URL to access this environment as well – demo.capitadiscovery.co.uk/{your tenancy name}. If you have your own host name, you’ll need to use prism-demo.librarymanagementcloud.co.uk instead.
We recommend that you use the preview environment to:
To access the system via the new url append your tenancy name to the end of it –
Please remember that it accesses your live data.
Note: If you find you cannot access https://prism-demo.librarymanagementcloud.co.uk/{your tenancy name} contact your IT department initially to see if this needs to be whitelisted.
If you offer single sign on via Prism SAML SSO then please arrange for the following meta data to be added to your SAML implementation:
https://prism.librarymanagementcloud.co.uk/<tenancy-name>/saml/module.php/saml/sp/metadata.php/default-sp
https://prism-demo.librarymanagementcloud.co.uk/<tenancy-name>/saml/module.php/saml/sp/metadata.php/default-sp
You need to create entries for each of your tenancies using Prism SAML SSO e.g. for any sandbox tenancies you may have.
We have contacted the partners we are aware of but please contact any partners that you work with to remind them about the URL changes for Prism e.g. Talis Aspire, Bolinda, ProQuest (Summon), Kortext (CLA Keys – was Rebus list).
In the next few weeks we are planning to work our way through the following items:
Starting from the w/b 14th June to support the remaining work to amend URLs, for the next four weeks we will be using additional maintenance windows every weekday between 6 and 8am from Mondays to Thursdays inclusive. There is a small possibility that there could be an impact on the live system but if we find this is the case we will backout the changes prior to 8am.
=========================================================

There will be some local updates needed to enable the changes to be fully implemented. We will be in touch again to provide more detail about when and what will be involved.
