Goose login service

Instructions

For SRCF users

You will generally use Goose to log into SRCF online services, such as:

• the Control Panel
• Mailman mailing lists

For web app developers

You can use Goose to authenticate against the SRCF user database.

Goose uses the Ucam-WebAuth protocol (sometimes called the 'WAA2WLS' protocol).

This is also used by the University of Cambridge Raven service, and software/libraries compatible with Raven's Ucam-WebAuth implementation, such as mod_ucam_webauth, should be compatible with Goose. You can read more about these on the Raven project pages.
