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

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