Hi,
At my institution (University of Southampton, UK) we connect to WoS
automatically ("Institutional login" or "Shibboleth") without having
to explicitly authenticate.
Previously we connected from Athens, but no longer have an Athens subscription.This Institutional login normally works fine performing WoS searches direct from the browser (Safari 4.0.5 on mac OS 10.6.2) The problem I have is that if I attempt to perform a WoS search from Bibdesk or even display a reference onto which I have dragged the WoS link, *before* connecting to WoS via Safari, somehow Bibdesk attempts to connect to WoS using Athens. Since we no longer have an Athens subscription, this fails. Moreover, it sets a Safari cookie that means that any future use of WOS, even direct from Safari, tries to use Athens authentication, and hence fails. The workaround is: 1. If I connect to WoS via Safari *before* using Bibdesk there's no problem. 2. The cookies that need to be deleted can be found and deleted as follows: Safari-> Preferences->Security->show cookies --insert " knowledge " into the search box --select the Athens & Shibboleth cookies --click on "Remove" Is this a bug, or have I just missed some way of setting preferences?
