RE: Internet Explorer and Patron authentication

["Carol Gyger" <cgyger at fcgov dot com>]

Brooks,

I was so hopeful this would work but it doesn't work for me.  I enabled
Content advisor and added our III server address as you have indicated
below.  I can login with a staff barcode# but not a regular patron
barcode#.   When I login using a regular card# and click on any link,
for example Items Checked Out, I am immediately returned to the login
screen.  Very interesting.

This is not a III problem, but the way in that the content advisor
works, so there is not much that III can do. 



One thing that that can be done, is to go to the ICRA site and have
your site "labeled". This can be a tedious process, but it will work.
Basically, it will create a small file that ends in .rdf which is then
uploaded to your website. Then you will have to tag your pages to
point
to that file. I have not seen anyone do this with the Webopac, but it
does work with other types of dynamically generated pages, so it
should
be doable. 



The other thing that you can do it to put up a list of addresses that
can be added to the patrons content advisor that will allow them to
access your website. 

For example, to allow access to our Cooperatives catalog, the
following
can be put into the content advisor:



vulcan.bham.lib.al.us

https://vulcan.bham.lib.al.us 

catalog.jclc.org

jclc.org



Any part of the site that is secure, must be preceded with the
https://
before the url in addition to having the regular non-secure url. So as
you can see, I have both vulcan.bham.lib.al.us and I have
https://vulcan.bham.lib.al.us 





You can test this by enabling your content advisor and adding the
afore
mentioned sites into the approved sites tab with the setting of always
allow.



I can log in and authenticate and use the staff mode of the webopac
with these settings. 



What may have been throwing people before, was not knowing that you
have to also place the https seperately. It is not exactly well
documented from Microsoft.
