OCLC OpenURL Gateway (2)

To use OCLC OpenURL Gateway, a library's OpenURL link resolver must be registered with OCLC OpenURL Gateway, and a patron needs to create a free account. Registration can be done via WorldCat Registry.

When testing the registered SFX with OCLC OpenURL Gateway, if the following software error occurs:
Can't call method "get_attributes" on an undefined value at /exlibris/sfx_ver/sfx_version_3/sfxsdb/lib/ContextObject/Engine.pm line 503.

This relates to a redirect that happens each time the SFX Menu loads. Since the OCLC URL already includes a question mark, the redirect does not work with two question marks and fails. Edit the config/authentication_gateway.config file and change Section "Authentication" as:
active "0"
