Login problems to ebooks, RefWorks and UKAMF resources - a workaround

The problem is not yet fully fixed but ICT have come up with a workaround. This is what they say:

Dear Colleagues,

This notice concerns the University's Shibboleth service, required for logging in to services which include Library journals, e-books, RefWorks and other UK Access Management Federation resources.

This service has been unavailable due to an equipment fault and we are working with our maintainers to remedy the problem as soon as possible.

The following workaround is in place, but it requires users to accept a certificate warning message by clicking on "Advanced" and "Proceed to shib1.beds.ac.uk"

Please see below:

Once you have clicked "Proceed.." you will be taken to a login form where you can enter you normal username and password to access the required service.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and will continue to work on the underlying problem as a priority.
