Setting up the Link
To set up SSO via MyLogin, you need to load the Library System and log in as an Administrator. Then load management and select your identity provider.
In the first box, enter your Organisation ID. If you are not sure what this is, you can log into MyLogin account and find it there.
The next two boxes are your DfE number. First the Local Authority Code and then the Establishment Number.
Once you have entered these numbers, click 'OK' at the bottom of the box to save and close it.
Linking the Borrowers via Email Address
Once the link has been set up, you will need to ensure there is a link between your borrowers accounts in the library system and their SSO account.
The easiest and most convenient way is to make sure that the borrower's email address is populated in their record card, If this information is present then the SSO system will match the records and facilitate the sign on. This can be done using either a CSV or your automatic system.
If you use the automatic system, once you have set it up to import email addresses, you will never need to adjust it, each time new borrowers arrive in the management system they will be automatically added to the library system with their email address and the SSO will work straight away.
You can check the link by opening a borrower record card and ensuring there is an email address populated in the 'E-Mail' box.
If you would like to check this for all borrowers, you can do an advanced search for 'E-Mail Is Empty', this will then give you a list of all borrowers that will not match.
It is important to note that this field must be unique, if there are two borrowers with the same email address, there is a chance the they will get mixed up when logging in.
Linking the Borrowers via CSV
The other option is to export a CSV of all your users from MyLogin. Log into your MyLogin account and export a CSV of all your borrowers and their SSO data.
Then load the Management page and import the CSV.
Once the users have been added, the intake matching process will match on forename and surname, if there is more than one student in the system with the same name these will have to be manually matched.
