OPAC via Primo - Which Aleph ID Signs into Primo?

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph
• Product Version: 20

Description:
Which Aleph ID logs into Primo?

Resolution:
The restful API -- DLF -- works only with the Patron's true ID (i.e., the value of the z308_ID). This is the reason that it is limited to 12 characters:

Z308_REC_KEY NOT NULL CHAR(27)
Z308_VERIFICATION VARCHAR2(40)
Z308_VERIFICATION_TYPE CHAR(2)
Z308_ID CHAR(12)
Z308_STATUS CHAR(2)
Z308_ENCRYPTION CHAR(1)

If you're using LDAP authentication, the z308_verification_type has to be "02".
