| Description | The hypertext atlases of dermatopatology, fetal and neonatal pathology contain a lot of images in very high resolution together with the annotations. The atlases were available on the Internet without any restrictions at the beginning. As the number of images as well as the user base has been grown, unfortunately there were users who tried to mirror the atlases without letting know the author and then publish images and annotations as their own. Therefor we had to deploy an authentication system which allows auditing users' access. In the paper, we describe deployment of an authentication system which uses national identity federations. The atlases thus have become a service provider in a national identity federation, where users can authenticate with the services with their home institution's authentication mechanisms. |
