[SOLAR-L] MaineCat requesting & SSL

[Forest, Jon]

The current problem is that if a Minerva library has an item Available,
a Minerva patron cannot request it through MaineCat.  Same goes for all
MaineCat contributing systems, as far as I can tell (URSUS, CBB, SOLAR,
etc.), I'm just using Minerva as an example.  The patron gets the error,
"You cannot use Maine Info Net to request items that are available at
your institution."  This is exactly what used to happen prior to when we
moved to the Agency model of requesting last year.  I just spoke to one
of the INN-Reach experts at III and she did not understand why this is
happening either, since everything appeared to be fine on their end.
She will check in with the person there who knows most about Agencies &
will call back tomorrow.

This may or may not have anything to with the new SSL certificates which
I installed on MaineCat and Minerva servers this afternoon.  The new SSL
certs were issued by thawte.com, an issuer which should be known to just
about everyone's browser software without having to install anything.  A
cert for SOLAR will be coming soon.  If you continue to notice any
security-related error messages on Minerva or MaineCat, please let me
know.
