Re: [IUG] course reserves (OPAC) and portals

[Margaret Peloquin <peloquin at austincc dot edu>]

Stephen, be careful about thinking that LDAP=Single Signon.  This is not 
always the case.  The iii LDAP client simply uses the LDAP server to 
verify against.  Thus, it is possible that a student could login to your 
college portal and still have to reverify to download electronic 
reserves.  Of course, the username and password would be the same as 
their college username and password.   There are lots of variable and 
you may want to have your IT people talk with iii.
