Electronic Table of Contents from
the British Library 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.

A2Z had two similar interfaces. Sorry, the login at https://a2z.mimas.ac.uk/cgi-bin/a2zauthz.pl is no longer available, the A2Z project having finished.
The zetoc service is provided by
MIMAS at the
University of Manchester on
behalf of the British Library and
the JISC.
