User Authentication: Administration Console -- User Authentication Settings - ILS-Based Configuration
- Product: 360 Core Client Center
How do I configure ILS-based authentication in the User Authentication settings in the Administration Console?
This Answer is part of a larger set of documentation about using the Administration Console to configure your User Authentication service.
This Answer contains instructions for enabling ILS-based authentication as your credential-based user authentication method.
The information you will need to configure ILS-based User Authentication can most likely be obtained from your IT department. However, your IT department will likely want to know the range of User Authentication Service IP addresses -- 207.170.201.11 to 207.170.201.15 -- so they can open a port on your firewall to allow access by this service from this IP address range. Then, they need to tell you which port they opened so you can enter it here in the Administration Console.
On the Configure User Authentication page, select ILS Based from the drop-down menu. The page will then look like this:
Select your ILS vendor. If your library does not use III Millennium, select Other (see below).
The User Authentication service has been qualified for use with several different ILS systems (see this list), but if you use a different ILS, it may work anyway. Let us know (using the Contact Us menu near the top of this page) if you successfully use a different ILS for User Authentication.
