  Target Milestone: ---

The self-checkin (SCI) module currently requires to set up a dedicated kiosk
terminal for its purpose. The reason being that you can't provide user/password
system preferences for an automatic login, like you can for the self-checkout
(SCO) counterpart.

Our use case is the following: we are already using the SCO module with
automatic login of the dedicated SCO patron, and our actual patrons identify 
themselves via their cardnumber. While they can obviously check in their books
via the SCO module, we'd like to streamline the process such that they don't
have to login with their cardnumber in order to simply return a book. The SCI
module would be ideal for this but, effectively, it can't be used on the same
terminal as switching between the modules currently requires a manual login of
the dedicated SCI patron.
