Also be aware that the cookie that gets set to indicate the user is logged in will not be available to a domain other than that of your catalog. So, if your library website and catalog do not share the same domain name, you'd have no good way of checking that the user had actually logged in when they get to the redirected URL. No, HTTP_REFERER [sic] is not a good way to tell. > > -b > > > > > On Thu, Dec 5, 2013 at 8:45 PM, George Rodgers-Clark > <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> > wrote: > > Hello, > I'm needing to create a way to validate a patron's library account, > then send them to a page on our site.
