Z39.50 setup - what information to share so Alma be searchable via z39.50 ?

Question

How to enable Z39.50 search in Alma? What information to give to external contacts?

Answer

These are the elements which enable z39.50 search in Alma:

Server: euXX.alma.exlibrisgroup.com (for the European region) or naXX.alma.exlibrisgroup.com (North America) or ap01.alma.exlibrisgroup.com (for the APAC region)
Port:1921
Base: your institution code

No authentication needed, unless specifically defined in: General Configuration Menu > Integration Profiles > filter to Type: Z39.50 Server
 

Port 1921 should be open for the whole world.

Note: euXX and naXX should be replaced by your correct environment, e.g. eu01 or na02.
