Adding or editing a web service definition
A web service definition lets you use an ILS (either Symphony or Horizon) web service instance for authenticating administrative and patron logins and determining authorization for those logins, as well as providing other services. For more information, see Setting up Web Services authentication or Adding or editing a Discovery source site. You can add as many web service definitions as you need.
