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

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