Since we have not implemented AthensDA I cannot comment how it might work with LDAP or about AthensDA authenticating against OPAC, but I think it would be helpful to separate the campus LDAP server and Innovative's LDAP (External Patron Verification) product. Of course the latter validates patrons against the former, but as far as I know it is not a Single Sign On product. If you are interested in what Innovative is doing in this area you may want to look at the following powerpoint presentations available from CSDirect.
