OPAC Authentication (continued)

• "Authsrvr" program for our OPAC
  • custom C program (source: authsrvr.c)
  • checks authentication data from PAM against our OPAC's patron db
  • specific to our site, but easy to adapt to other DRA sites
  • can take fine status, borrower class, other patron info into account
  • similar programs readily available for other OPACs (ask about them on WEB4LIB, or other library forums)
