SAML authentication for patrons for Resource Sharing
Currently, when an article or book chapter that a patron requested for has been fulfilled through resource sharing in Alma, the patron receives a document delivery notification letter informing the patron to download the requested article or book chapter. The URL link for SAML authentication for patrons requires SAML to be configured for Alma in addition to Primo VE (See support case 06050447). As Alma is intended for only library staff to login to work, I think it is best not to expose Alma's URL to patrons. Hence, I think that all patron services should be authenticated through Primo VE including picking up for articles and book chapters delivered through resource sharing. And keep authentication for library staff to Alma separate from Primo VE. I have modified the XSL for the document delivery notification letter in Alma as a workaround.
