    Problem Symptoms:
    *PDS is authenticating correctly from both the X-server and Shibboleth, but is failing when it tries to return the user back to ALEPH.

    *The following error occurs:

    ID or verification field dont match the system records used by the PDS.

    *The log shows that when PDS tries to bring up the user record it is defaulting to records in USR00 rather than ABC00 (the correct local $usr_library).

    Cause:
    Incorrect value for $alephe_root/aleph_start www_base variable.

    Resolution:
    Change the www_base variable in $alephe_root/aleph_start from "USM01" to "ABC01"

    setenv www_base "ABC01"
