402 =head1 NAME
404 C4::Auth - Authenticates Koha users
406 =head1 SYNOPSIS
408 use C4::Auth_with_ldap;
410 =head1 LDAP Configuration
412 This module is specific to LDAP authentification. It requires Net::LDAP package and one or more
413 working LDAP servers.
414 To use it :
415 * Modify ldapserver element in KOHA_CONF
416 * Establish field mapping in <mapping> element.
418 For example, if your user records are stored according to the inetOrgPerson schema, RFC#2798,
419 the username would match the "uid" field, and the password should match the "userpassword" field.
421 Make sure that ALL required fields are populated by your LDAP database (and mapped in KOHA_CONF).
422 What are the required fields? Well, in mysql you can check the database table "borrowers" like this:

536 </ldapserver>
537 </config>
539 The <mapping> subelements establish the relationship between mysql fields and LDAP attributes. The element name
540 is the column in mysql, with the "is" characteristic set to the LDAP attribute name. Optionally, any content
541 between the element tags is taken as the default value. In this example, the default categorycode is "PT" (for
542 patron).
544 =head1 CONFIGURATION
546 Once a user has been accepted by the LDAP server, there are several possibilities for how Koha will behave, depending on
547 your configuration and the presence of a matching Koha user in your local DB:
549 LOCAL_USER
550 OPTION UPDATE REPLICATE EXISTS? RESULT
551 A1 1 1 1 OK : We're updating them anyway.
552 A2 1 1 0 OK : We're adding them anyway.
553 B1 1 0 1 OK : We update them.
554 B2 1 0 0 FAIL: We cannot add new user.
555 C1 0 1 1 OK : We do nothing. (maybe should update password?)
556 C2 0 1 0 OK : We add the new user.
557 D1 0 0 1 OK : We do nothing. (maybe should update password?)
558 D2 0 0 0 FAIL: We cannot add new user.
560 Note: failure here just means that Koha will fallback to checking the local DB. That is, a given user could login with
561 their LDAP password OR their local one. If this is a problem, then you should enable update and supply a mapping for
562 password. Then the local value will be updated at successful LDAP login and the passwords will be synced.
564 If you choose NOT to update local users, the borrowers table will not be affected at all.
565 Note that this means that patron passwords may appear to change if LDAP is ever disabled, because
566 the local table never contained the LDAP values.
568 =head2 auth_by_bind
570 Binds as the user instead of retrieving their record. Recommended if update disabled.
572 =head2 principal_name
574 Provides an optional sprintf-style format for manipulating the userid before the bind.
575 Even though the userPrincipalName is one intended target, any uniquely identifying
576 attribute that the server allows to be used for binding could be used.
578 Currently, principal_name only operates when auth_by_bind is enabled.
580 =head2 update_password
582 If this tag is left out or set to a true value, then the user's LDAP password
583 will be stored (hashed) in the local Koha database. If you don't want this
584 to happen, then set the value of this to '0'. Note that if passwords are not
585 stored locally, and the connection to the LDAP system fails, then the users
586 will not be able to log in at all.
588 =head2 Active Directory
590 The auth_by_bind and principal_name settings are recommended for Active Directory.
592 Under default Active Directory rules, we cannot determine the distinguishedName attribute from the Koha userid as reliably as
593 we would typically under openldap. Instead of:
595 distinguishedName: CN=barnes.7,DC=my_company,DC=com
597 We might get:
599 distinguishedName: CN=Barnes\, Jim,OU=Test Accounts,OU=User Accounts,DC=my_company,DC=com
601 Matching that would require us to know more info about the account (firstname, surname) and to include punctuation and whitespace
602 in Koha userids. But the userPrincipalName should be consistent, something like:
604 userPrincipalName: barnes.7@my_company.com
606 Therefore it is often easier to bind to Active Directory with userPrincipalName, effectively the
607 canonical email address for that user, or what it would be if email were enabled for them. If Koha userid values
608 will match the username portion of the userPrincipalName, and the domain suffix is the same for all users, then use principal_name
609 like this:
610 <principal_name>%s@core.my_company.com</principal_name>
612 The user of the previous example, barnes.7, would then attempt to bind as:
613 barnes.7@core.my_company.com
