Nevar: Web Login Service (WLS) bridge

For site visitors

This site allows you to authenticate to other websites using your University Account (formerly Raven).

You are not signed in – you'll be prompted to do so when a website tries to authenticate you using this service, or you can sign in manually.

For web app developers

You can use Nevar to authenticate University Accounts using the Ucam-WebAuth protocol (sometimes called the 'WAA2WLS' protocol).

This was also used by the University of Cambridge's Raven service, and software/libraries compatible with Raven's Ucam-WebAuth implementation, such as mod_ucam_webauth, should be compatible with Nevar.

You may also be interested in SRCF Goose, a service to authenticate SRCF users.
