Abstract

With the arrival of Aleph version 22 came the extension of the Z308_REC_KEY, with enough room to store McGill's university's credentials (known as first.last - basically our email addresses). This is the story of how we setup the LDAP configuration (already available 'out of the box' in Aleph) and switched to using the XML patron loader so we could load staff and students first.last credentials. I will also cover the changes made to the login pages in the Catalogue. We finally went live with 'first.last' signing in the Catalogue in January 2017; so there will be statistics...
