Hi all, We have just had SIP2 set up for OverDrive member authentication. We now have a slight problem in that it is checking by patron type rather than by home library for reporting, despite thinking we had set it up to check by home library. I was wondering if anyone out there could shed some light on this for us?

The way most SIP2 authentication clients work is by requesting a patron status or patron info message from the server, the response indicates that the patron is valid matches the password given and returns a number of informational fields. Neither of these include the patron home library, although many clients look for additional fields encoding extra information. You need to find out what field the client software may be looking for and what message it is sending (probably a patron info request) Cheers Colin -- Colin Campbell Chief Software Engineer, PTFS Europe Limited Content Management and Library Solutions +44 (0) 845 557 5634 (phone) +44 (0) 7759 633626 (mobile) colin.campbell@ptfs-europe.com skype: colin_campbell2 http://www.ptfs-europe.com
