Description:
How do we set up an ILL supplier that requires a username and password?

Resolution:
In WebILL, when one of your ILL suppliers (such as OCLC ILL) requires user and password you will need to set up alephe/tab/tab_supplier_ext.
Once this table is set, the workflow is the same as for any other supplier. In other words, the 'Send ILL Request' action for a supplier who requires tab_supplier_ext is the same action as for any other supplier.
The user ID and password information will be populated in the PromptID tags of the ISO ILL APDU message (see the Extension xml tree below).

Note: For Integrated ILL GUI (v18 and higher), the same is true, except the relevant table is "tab_ill_partner_conf", not "tab_supplier_ext".
