[Eril-l] EBSCo ebooks - creating new users

[Harper, Cynthia]

I was previously working with a student on her Mac. I now am trying with my Android phone, and it's working there. I do notice, however, that my browser tries to supply a saved password in the form, so that was a little confusing until a used the View password option.   I didn't try that with the student, since I didn't want to ask her to vie a password she probably regularly uses. But I'll tell her to try it with the view password option - I suspect it's an anomaly of remembered passwords.   I've never set up accounts in a mediated way, since I don't want to have to figure out some way to send them their passwords.

I really wish EBSCO would develop support for III Patron API.

Can anyone tell me if they see this same problem, or is it just us?

For users not using EZProxy authentication, but requiring an EBSCO ID: We try to create a new personal EBSCO user in EBSCO ebooks.  No matter what we try for the new password, the red X never goes to a green checkmark to indicate that it's an acceptable password.  I am right, it should change to a green checkmark as soon as you change the password to one that meets the rules, correct?  In any case, we can't create a new account.
