What you need from us:
Our SP entityID: https://shibbolethsp.jstor.org/shibboleth
Membership: We belong to the federations below, but can work with many others via interfederation metadata (if in doubt, contact us):

What we need from you:
Your entityID: Please send your entityID to support@jstor.org.
SAML Assertions: Please release an attribute value in your metadata. We prefer eduPersonScopedAffiliation but also support eduPersonEntitlement. If your institution uses eduPersonEntitlement please send your attribute values to our support team. Users without at least one of the specified attributes will not be authorized for access to JSTOR.
Using attributes to allocate resources:
Want to allocate different JSTOR resources across different campuses, departments, or affiliated groups (like current students vs. alumni)? Yes, you can do that!
- By Department
- eduPersonEntitlement: present a URI that distinguishes the department from others at the school. Ex: science.wagstaff.edu
- By Role (student vs. alum vs. staff, etc.)
- eduPersonScopedAffiliation: present a URI that distinguishes between groups that need to receive different access. Ex: student@wagstaff.edu and alum@wagstaff.edu
- By Campus
- eduPersonScopedAffiliation: present a URI that distinguishes between campuses that need to receive different access. Ex: student@westcampus.wagstaff.edu and alum@eastcampus.wagstaff.edu
When you’re ready to make the leap, email us your entityID and let us know if you need access provisioned across different groups, campuses, or departments.
