    Problem Symptoms:
    When a request is sent to x-server (WWW-X) (for test purposes using an HTTP call), the following error occurs:
    <error>Error in Verification</error>
    (See Additional Information, below, for detailed example.)

    Cause:
    z308_verification_type "02" for non-LDAP log-in.

    Resolution:
    Change the z308_verification_type to "00". (The z308.pdf doc says: "For standard IDs, this field is set to 00. For LDAP verification IDs, this field is set to 02.") (z308 is the Patron ID's table.)

    Additional Information

    [Detailed Symptoms:]

    When the request is sent to the xserver (for test purposes using an HTTP call), the following error occurs:

    <error>Error in Verification</error>
    http://linc.xxx.edu/X?op=bor-auth&library=XXX50&bor_id=D123456789&verification=4690

    But the following request, gets a correct response:

    http://linc.xxx.edu/X?op=bor-auth&library=TCC50&bor_id=TCB987654321&verification=NB82282

    Both patrons are active at the same college other than the patron status and identification; there appears to be no difference.

    Why does the second work while the first doesn't?

    [Detailed Diagnosis:]

    xxx00 (usr_library) util f/4 shows:

    02 z308_rec_key
    03 key_type ...............01
    03 key_data ...............D123456789
    03 user_library ...........
    02 z308_verification ........4690
    02 z308_verification_type ...02
    02 z308_id ..................XXX000363012

    02 z308_rec_key
    03 key_type ...............01
    03 key_data ...............TCB987654321
    03 user_library ...........
    02 z308_verification ........NB82282
    02 z308_verification_type ...00
    02 z308_id ..................XXX000341835


    Note that the second has z308_verification_type ...00, while the first has z308_verification_type ...02.

    Conduct the following tests:

    1. change the first to z308_verification_type ...00; confirm that it works;

    2. change the second to z308_verification_type ...02; confirm that it fails.
