The functional overview of HAN

Provide individual online databases/e-journals as individual resources with fixed start-URLs

Assign properties (licenses, rights, etc.) at the individual-resource level

Automatic login (authentication) with provider using IP address or login data

Transparent and data protection compliant access information for content providers by having IP activation

HAN-Center as the central programme with a graphical user interface for HAN resource management

Configurable HAN A to Z list (HTML-based index) for online databases / e-journals

Thematic lists with a fixed access URL can be created using freely definable keywords

Access to the online resources provided from any browser without having to install a client or change your computer or browser settings

HAN system is based on reverse proxy technology (communication between user and provider always takes place via HAN)

Full HTML 5 support (resources based on WebSockets can be used via HAN)

Crawler protection against the unauthorised indexing of online resources

The HAN A to Z list and thematic lists are fully accessible in accordance with BITV

Microsoft Windows Server as HAN server (core server or server with UI)

Flexible hardware requirements depending on the number of accesses (Scalable system)

Appropriate for data centers (local or cloud-based)

Continuous optimization of the kernel technology (regular updates)

Highest security of the HAN systems also in the administration through exclusive accessibility via HTTP and HTTPS

HAN-client supports every 64bit capable Windows end device for HAN administration

HAN can be installed as an integrated solution with location-based online resource management (as an add-on module)

High-availability installation available for HAN Web Services (as an add-on module)

HAN end-user management if no suitable user management system is available (as an add-on module)

Authenticate users via existing library systems (Aleph/ALMA, PICA, SISIS, VTLS/Chamo, Horizon, KOHA, ADIS, ...) or logins (e.g. LDAP, databases with ODBC interfaces or Shibboleth or OpenID Connect (e.g. Azure-AD))

Multiple interfaces to login systems can be defined (e.g. for access from the library via IP authenticate and for access from home using user authentication and the library system)

Optional reading of additional attributes depending on defined login systems and to use these as environmental variables

Define individual rights based on location (IP addresses or DNS names), LDAP memberships, or environmental variables

Authentication via client certificates

Combination of Single-Sign-On (on-campus) and classic registration (from external)

A completely new set of statistics with role-based allocation in the definition of calculation templates and the viewer

Calculation templates can be imported and exported

Calculation templates may contain dynamic elements (e.g. automated monthly calculations, etc.)

Central, web-based, cross-provider analysis of usage statistics for all online resources managed in HAN

Calculate cross-tables (e.g. breaking down annual online resource usage by month)

Calculate the parallel use of online resources per day

COUNTER-style full-text analysis

Export the calculated data as a CSV file or send it by email

Define environment variable as cost center (automatic totaling of usage based on variables)

Define data groups (users, stations, or IDs) with automatic totaling

Store defined calculation bases for future use

Freely defined calculation bases (users, stations, or IDs)

statistical analysis within licence packages down to the individual title

Monitoring the amount of data between provider and user, either at the level of the online resource(s) or user

Automatic blocking of online resources or users after meeting the data transfer threshold (24 hour period)

Automatic reporting of blockings to the HAN administrator

Log all blockings

The block can be lifted via web interface even before the defined period has expired

Seamless integration into EZB (Electronic Journal Library of Regensburg) e-journal services: automatic import, update and comparison of online-resources managed in the EZB

Providing web interfaces to integrate HAN into existing environments. Decide whether responses are sent as URL redirects, JSON objects, or HTML templates: - interface for assigning a full-text URL to an existing HAN resource - interface that sends supplemental information about an existing HAN resource such as rights, licenses (available and currently in use), etc. - interface to check whether a HAN resource already exists for a full-text URL; if not, it is created. The user is then forwarded to the full-text URL via HAN - Single sign-on support in the HAN-Web-API e.g. for automatic login from intranet pages

Smart link-out from meta search-engines (e.g. Google Scholar) to external resources, if a corresponding HAN resource is found

Integration of Discovery Services (EDS, Primo, Summon, VuFind, Lukida and others)

Integration of Linksolver (SFX, Ovid, Linksolver of EDS and others)

Secure management of HAN resources through role-based administration: - HAN Administrator with full rights - Access Administrator for creating and managing administrative accounts - Technicians are granted access only to the HAN system event log - HAN resource management - Statistics Administrator for creating calculation templates - Statistics Viewer receives statistical reports

Full administration via the HAN Client (optimised for use in data centres) - Secure access from any device that connects to the HAN system - No additional port opening or other firewall adjustments required (access via HTTPS only)

Providing separate administrative accounts in HAN user administration or using existing Windows accounts (through user SID, regardless of domain memberships)

Configurable, automatic login to the HAN server at client start

HAN library for downloading login logic, including the HAN Login Script Checker for well-known online resources

Central administration of all resources

Script recorder and script editor completely revamped

Spreadsheet display of managed resources (export as CSV file)

Defining custom queries using the properties of a HAN resource

Option to limit and monitor simultaneous use of an online-resource (concurrent licenses)

Named licences can be configured as either permanently reserved or dynamically allocated licences

Export and import of online-resources (also as CSV files)

Efficient management of online-resources due to multiple selections (e.g. to assign the same rights to all of the HAN ressources of a given provider)

Copying of the logon logic between the HAN ressources possible

HAN package management (allows for the allocation of different numbers and types of licences within purchased licence packages)
