NCSU Symphony Host LMS adapter

A customized Host LMS adapter was created for NC State University as part of ReShare 1.11. The custom adapter is enabled by selecting “NCSU” (rather than “Symphony”) in Settings>Resource sharing>Host LMS integration settings>Host LMS integration.

NCSU implemented an additional level of authentication in their Symphony NCIP server, which is managed via the “NCIP from agency authentication” field on the Settings>Resource sharing>Local NCIP settings page. All ReShare users except NCSU should leave the “NCIP from agency authentication” field blank.
