PRE-2008 ....How to Test Authentication with verify library user-per B.Main Aug 2004

• Try this:
• 1. in sh, su to sirsi.
• 2. go to directory: /home/admin4/Vericlav
• 3. type and enter:

          test_library
  

• 4. hopefully, it will ask you to:

          type string to be sent (ctrl-d to exit) :
  

• 5. type in:

          user ID|PIN
  

• 6. it should respond either :

          Successful call
          YES|
      or
          Error - call failed
          Verification failed
  

• 7. and then set you back to 4.
• 8. to end the cycle enter ctrl-d.
• Its not perfect, as you may see, but it will tell you if a person's ID and PIN are valid and the person has an acceptable user policy type.

Since that time...authentication has been re-written

To test it now, I have perl programs on c1 that can be run to see if a
user's barcode/pin will get a YES response or if nothing happens etc.

eg:
[ndlall@c1 ~]$ ./callcoppulsirsi1.pl
NO|Invalid User Pin|

[ndlall@c1 ~]$ ./callverifysirsi1.pl
YES|YES|YES|SUPPSTAFF|OK|LIBRARY|20370101|UCALGARY|

On production server to see if the authentication programs are running do:

$ ps -ef | grep verify | more
   sirsi  1093     1   0   Apr 10 ?           0:05 /usr/bin/perl /s/sirsi/Unicorn/Bincustom/verify_library_user.pl
   sirsi 25749  1093   0 09:55:56 ?           0:00 /usr/bin/perl /s/sirsi/Unicorn/Bincustom/verify_library_user.pl

and check for the alumni authentication program:

$ ps -ef | grep auth
