…methods of providing authorization...
DRA XML Patron Authentication Server
- Eliminates need to export patron info to other files
- Should be able to support multiple user groups
- Vendor support??????
Citrix WinFrame/Metaframe Server
- Same kind of server that can be used to provide remote access to CD-ROM products can be used to run a web browser session remotely.
- Only solves problem with vendors using IP validation. Web client not always easy to install.
- Expensive (hardware requirements greater than for a proxy; Metaframe requires NT Terminal Server Edition licenses).
Obvia Remote Database Access (RDA) Service
- NT solution. See http://www.obvia.com/
