Problems Accessing MNCAT
In late January, some changes were made to the authentication method for MNCAT. As a result, you may get questions from off-campus users who are unable to access the catalog. It seems to be limited only to users who are behind a firewall - hospitals and corporations are likely candidates for this situation.
IT is quite sure this is a port issue, and is continuing to work for a permanent fix. In the meantime, users should request that their local IT staff open port 8991 on prime6.oit.umn.edu. LEO believe this will resolve the problem. A more permanent fix is in the works, but that's the work-around for now.
Now please read on to the next post..... Thanks! Emily
