Fields: Add/Edit SIP Authentication Server

Code

Specifies a unique code for the server (up to 30 characters). This code is used to identify the authentication server on the Authentication Servers page and on any other pages that display the authentication server code.

Name

Specifies the system name of the SIP authentication server (up to 80 characters) for the specified language. This name is used to identify the SIP server on the Authentication Servers page and in the Security Options area of the Add/Edit/Copy Profile page. For more information, see Fields: Add/Edit/Copy Profile.

For this field, you can also specify an alternate name for a specific language. Choose the language from the drop-down list of supported languages, then enter the localized name in the field.

Note: If your web browser is configured to use a display language that is not supported by Portfolio and you have chosen to display the Admin console in a language other than the default language (en_US), the language that displays in the drop-down list of supported languages defaults to US English.

If a localized name already exists for a specific language, the software displays that language name differently in the drop-down list. When you enter a localized name for a specific language, the language name appears with a “++” suffix. If you clear the localized name for a specific language, the software displays the language name without the different formatting.

Host Name

Specifies the name of the server (up to 255 characters) that hosts the directory.

Port

Specifies the port number used to connect to the SIP server.

NCIP

Specifies to connect using the NCIP protocol when this option is selected.

Online Registration URL

When you enter a URL in the field (up to 255 characters), the program activates the "Register" link in the Portfolio patron login. When the patron clicks on the link, the page that you designate opens. You can link to a page that your library has created that explains the registration process, or to a page that allows the user to register or begin the registration process.

• Symphony eLibrary online registration—If you have enabled online self-registration in Symphony, you can enter the URL for the self-registration page (for more information about setting up user online registration, see the Online User Registration Configuration Guide on the SirsiDynix Support Center). Simply copy the URL from the self registration page to the Online Registration URL field.
• Horizon Information Portal online registration—If you have enabled online self-registration in Horizon, you can enter the URL for the Horizon Information Portal page. Simply copy the URL from the self registration page to the Online Registration URL field.
• In-person registration—You can also add a URL to a page that prepared by your library that explains how a patron can obtain a library card.

Important: The Online Registration URL must begin with "http://", "https://" or "/".
