For what it's worth, the OhioLINK statewide remote authentication system
currently works only with Innovative Interface patron databases (we are by
fiat a one-ILS consortium).  But the auth system was designed from the
ground up to be able to authenticate against campus LDAP, X.500, or
kerberos databases also; we just don't have any member campuses taking
advantage of that [yet].
