Using Patron Verification in WebPAC

Your organization can restrict request privileges to registered patrons. Patrons can be verified by using:

• the Innovative server and local patron records
• a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol server (often called an LDAP server)
• Innovative's Integrated Login feature
• Innovative's Single Sign-On (SSO) product
• SAML-based patron authentication

You must use patron verification when:

• processing patron requests automatically
• allowing patrons or the system to choose items for request
• limiting request by patron type or PCODE
• charging patrons for requests
• allowing patrons to self-book items
• participating in INN-Reach requesting

If your library uses My Account, you can set the NO_REVERIFY Web option so a successful My Account login serves as validation against the WebPAC functions listed in the NO_REVERIFY setting. For more information, see the NO_REVERIFY Web option.

You can optionally set your system to log a patron into a My Account session upon successful validation. For more information, see the description of the MY_WEBPAC Web option.

To use patron verification with Media Management, enter a value other than 000 in the Publisher Code field when adding a new media set.
