Jeffrey, Thanks for that. There is a slight inconsistency in the docs (after your hint I went back and looked again). The docs suggest that when theer are multiple auth mrthods configured that DSpace will try each method until success. What I am seeing is, in fact, a list of links (one for each auth method) at the login screen. I would have preferred it the way the docs suggested. But, in any case, you pointed me in th eright direction to get back to where I needed to be.
