All -
Ok. I do appreciate that Evergreen has built in security measures. They
are very good. However, I am unclear about how we can change some of those
settings to better match our needs.
It appears to me that the default for user accounts passwords is the last 4
digits of the patron phone number. But we don't enter a phone number most of
the time. We use email as the required field instead. Phone number is not
required on the patron registration form. So, then how do patrons know what
their password is in order to access their account through the opac interface?
Is there a way that we can set a default generic password to be populated
into the patron registration form? We had that on our previous system and we
could then tell all students to use that and then change their password after
they got into their account. How do we make this work in Evergreen? How
do students get into their account if they don't know what the password is?
Secondary issue: And I am assuming that somewhere in the templates we can
change the language of the prompt for the opac webpage? Right now it tells
patrons to use the last 4 digits of their phone number - which is wrong
information. Can someone tell me where that text is so I can change it?
Thanks!
