Setting up Remote Authentication in ILLiad 9.2
Symptom
You want to continue using Remote Authentication in 9.2
Resolution
Here is what you need to know about RemoteAuthentication and 9.2:
- Here is the link for the RemoteAuthValidation Table on the Atlas Systems site.
- You need to know your old RemoteAuthUser header so they can fill in the RemoteAuthValidation table. The field for this value has a 40-character limit.
- Here is a screenshot of what the table should look like.
- When you initially set up the RemoteAuthValidation table, you need to check the box for LogIfChanged in order to save the entry.
- After you have saved your entry in the RemoteAuthValidation table, if you want to edit it, you can deselect the LogIfChanged.
- Consider your RemoteAuthWebLogoutURL. If you are using EZproxy, you should be signing out of your EZproxy site. So if the sign in address is https://my.signing.edu/login?, then the key value you should have in the RemoteAuthWebLogoutURL is https://my.signing.edu/logout. So when you sign out of ILLiad, you are also signing out of EZproxy. That way, you can sign back into EZproxy immediately if you need to.
- If you are switching from a different authentication to RemoteAuth and all your patrons are going to use this way, you need to update all the patrons AuthType to "Default" following the article about I am getting an error message, "your single sign in username could not be used to create a new ILLiad account."
