[ipac] HIP and single sign on/shibboleth

[David Pattern]

Hi Jonathan
 
With a bit of screen-scraping and jiggery-pokery, it is possible to simulate a HIP login and then assign the session ID to the user.  We're doing this with our new university portal (i.e. once you've logged into the portal, the link to the library catalogue automatically logs you into that).

Subject: [ipac] HIP and single sign on/shibboleth



I realize most Horizon customers aren't university libraries, who are
most likely to run into this issue. But I know there are a few other
university Horizon libraries.

Has anyone sucessfully integrated a single-sign on system, especially a
Shibboleth system, into their HIP borrower login, so the HIP borrower
logs in with single sign on instead of bar code?

I'd be surprised if this is something that SD supports in any way.  But
there's always a way to hack HIP.  I'm wondering if anyone else has
tried going down this path.

Jonathan
