Unsupported Request errors

We have had some reports today of users getting Unsupported Request errors when trying to access library resources.

We are still trying to work out what is causing this problem - if it happens to you, please could you tell us at library.technical@beds.ac.uk:

• what exactly were you trying to access? which ebook, journal article or database was it?
• what browser were you using? and have you updated it recently?

In the meantime our best advice is to switch to a different browser and try again. 

Single Sign-On (SSO) and possible disruption to services

ICT are implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) for a number of University Services at the end of the month.

What is SSO?

Single sign-on (SSO) allows a user to sign on with university password to gain access to multiple applications and services without the necessity to logon to each system or service individually.

When will this be?

27th July and 30th July - 3rd August

Why are we doing this?

This is in response to feedback received from Students and to improve student experience.

Who will this affect?

Staff and Students

What will be affected?

Whilst SSO is being implemented and authentication is being switched to SSO, access to these following services may be intermittent.
