Welcome to A2Z

A2Z is a JISC-funded e-Science project, part of the 'AAA Programme' (Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting), to evaluate the Akenti authorisation software in the context of the existing MIMAS current awareness service zetoc.

The constraints for access to the zetoc service are summarised in the table below. For the purpose of testing A2Z runs a cut down version of this authorisation scheme currently only implementing a few institutes with credentials (attribute certificates in Akenti speak) stored on local file systems.
