- Relevant for Installation Type: Dedicated-Direct, Direct, Local, Total Care
Description
Can you advise on the access required by the following UTIL W servers and which services are used by them and whether they are accessed via the web server and/or the GUI clients.
Resolution
PC Server
<<js Accessed by GUI clients. Also z39.50 clients access the pc_server specified in the "hostname localhost" line in the $alephe_tab/z39_server/z39_server.conf . In addition to your firewall, the $alephe_tab/tab_ip_allowed can also be used to control pc_server access.
WWW Server
<<js Accessed by OPAC users and by the Primo server. The WWW Server should be open to the world (--unless you know of certain IP address ranges from which it should not be accessed). Also see below in regard to X-Services access via the www_server.
Z39 Server - where does this connect to and who is allowed to connect to this
<<js As noted above, the z39_server connects to the pc_server specified in ./z39_server.conf . The z39 server is connected to by outside users (such as other libraries' z39.50 clients).
Z39 Gate
<<js The z39_gate connects to other libraries' z39 servers
NCIP Server
<<js Accessed by other libraries' ncip clients; accesses other libraries' ncip servers
SIP2 server – working with the self-check machines
<<js Accessed by self-check machines; sends messages back to self-check machines.
SLNP
<<js See the article: https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/...TARTUP_LIBS%3F
ARS
<<js See the article https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/..._automatically
ILL
<<js Necessary only if your library uses Aleph for InterLibrary Loan. (Most libraries do not.)
> Please also advise on any other modules, e.g. Circulation, Acquisitions, which may need access.
<<js X-Services access (via the www_server) should also be considered. Please see the article on X-services which I have linked to this Case.
