Mount Allison University

 

  • Resolver - installed, fully operational

  • One piece missing: Single sign-on authentication script. Current LDAP implementation does not contain a linking element to Unicorn.

    Basically, the LDAP authentication needs to return a Unicorn linking element (Bar code / Student ID), which is used to determine the

    Unicorn internal user record key. The record key along with the User ID and Library Symbol are passed to Relais in a document request.

    Relais uses these user data elements to perform an NCIP lookup as part of the User Authentication process.
