Hello Luke, Since you mention Aleph and we run a bunch of SIP2 servers in Aleph. 1. You are supposed to have a SIP license from Ex Libris. Just in case you do not have one, that may be the issue. 2. You can configure Aleph to require or not require a login. We do not. There is a SIP2 document that explains the different configuration settings. 3. You do not get a prompt. When you connect just type anything and hit the CR. You should get a 98 message back that the server did not understand the request. If you get that, you're connecting and should be able to do the rest. al On Wed, 2012-10-31 at 15:08 +0000, Osullivan L. wrote: > Hi Bob, > > That's great - I really appreciate the help.

The code I originally submitted to VuFind worked on my old Sirsi system but does not work on Evergreen for example. I'm not familiar with Voyager. Does Voyagers SIP require a stored id/password to authenticate? With evergreen I have an account setup called something like sipuser that has permission to authenticate with SIP. My current SIP client first authenticates with sipuser:password and then uses msgPatronStatusRequest to authenticate the patron (bwicksall:password). > > Here is a code snip that should look similar to the VuFind code but with an extra Logon level. > > $mysip = new sip2; > > $mysip->hostname = 'mysiphost.example.com'; > $mysip->port = 6001; > $mysip->debug = true; > > $RequireLogin = true; > $StoredID = 'sipuser'; > $StoredPass = 'password'; > > $LoginSuccess = true; > > if ($mysip->connect()) > { > if ($RequireLogin) > { > // Send Login Msg > $in = $mysip->msgLogin($StoredID, $StoredPass); > $msg_result = $mysip->get_message($in); > > // 941 returned means msgLogin worked > if (!preg_match("/^941/", $msg_result)) > { > $LoginSuccess = false; > } > } > > if ($LoginSuccess) > { > //send selfcheck status message > $in = $mysip->msgSCStatus(); > $msg_result = $mysip->get_message($in); > > // Make sure the response is 98 as expected > if (preg_match("/^98/", $msg_result)) > { > $result = $mysip->parseACSStatusResponse($msg_result); > > // Use result to populate SIP2 setings > $mysip->AO = $result['variable']['AO'][0]; /* set AO to value returned */ > $mysip->AN = $result['variable']['AN'][0]; /* set AN to value returned */ > > $mysip->patron = $myPOST['username']; > $mysip->patronpwd = $myPOST['password']; > > $in = $mysip->msgPatronStatusRequest(); > $msg_result = $mysip->get_message($in); > > // Make sure the response is 24 as expected > if (preg_match("/^24/", $msg_result)) > { > $result = $mysip->parsePatronStatusResponse( $msg_result ); > > if (($result['variable']['BL'][0] == 'Y') and ($result['variable']['CQ'][0] == 'Y')) > { > // Success!!! > > Bob Wicksall > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Demian Katz" <dem...@vi...> > > To: "Osullivan L." <L.O...@sw...>, "Bob Wicksall" <bwi...@pl...> > > Cc: vuf...@li... > > Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2012 10:05:04 AM > > Subject: RE: [VuFind-Tech] SIP2 > > > > Can you use some kind of packet sniffing tool to inspect > > communication between your VuFind server and the SIP server?
