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

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