To help you get your ePlatform portal set up quickly and seamlessly, we offer flexible authentication methods to suit your organization's infrastructure. Whether you prefer a quick manual setup or an automated single sign-on integration, our team is here to support you.
1. Manual Patron Upload (Quick-Start)
This is the "do-it-yourself" approach. It is ideal if you want full control over your patron list without waiting on IT department schedules.
For detailed step-by-step instructions on managing users, passwords, and manual uploads, please refer to our full guide:

2. Integration Options
If you prefer a dynamic or automated authentication method, you can choose from the following options:
Single Sign-On (SSO) (Highly Recommended): Offers a seamless, password less login experience. Users log in with a single click using their existing credentials (e.g., Microsoft Azure, ADFS/SAML, Google, MyLogin, OneLogin, Open Athens etc).
LDAP: Allows users to log in using their standard network credentials (primarily for schools, tertiary institutes, and corporations). (Requires allowing our IP address through your firewall).
SIP2: Ideal for public libraries, enabling patrons to log in using their Library Management System (LMS) credentials. (Requires allowing our IP address through your firewall).
