 306 =head1 NAME
 307
 308 C4::Auth - Authenticates Koha users
 309
 310 =head1 SYNOPSIS
 311
 312   use C4::Auth_with_ldap;
 313
 314 =head1 LDAP Configuration
 315
 316     This module is specific to LDAP authentification. It requires Net::LDAP package and one or more
 317         working LDAP servers.
 318         To use it :
 319            * Modify ldapserver element in KOHA_CONF
 320            * Establish field mapping in <mapping> element.
 321
 322         For example, if your user records are stored according to the inetOrgPerson schema, RFC#2798,
 323         the username would match the "uid" field, and the password should match the "userpassword" field.
 324
 325         Make sure that ALL required fields are populated by your LDAP database (and mapped in KOHA_CONF).
 326         What are the required fields?  Well, in mysql you can check the database table "borrowers" like this:
 327
 328         mysql> show COLUMNS from borrowers;
 329                 +---------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
 330                 | Field               | Type         | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
 331                 +---------------------+--------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

 435   </ldapserver>
 436  </config>
 437
 438 The <mapping> subelements establish the relationship between mysql fields and LDAP attributes. The element name
 439 is the column in mysql, with the "is" characteristic set to the LDAP attribute name.  Optionally, any content
 440 between the element tags is taken as the default value.  In this example, the default categorycode is "PT" (for
 441 patron).
 442
 443 =head1 CONFIGURATION
 444
 445 Once a user has been accepted by the LDAP server, there are several possibilities for how Koha will behave, depending on
 446 your configuration and the presence of a matching Koha user in your local DB:
 447
 448                          LOCAL_USER
 449  OPTION UPDATE REPLICATE  EXISTS?  RESULT
 450    A1      1       1        1      OK : We're updating them anyway.
 451    A2      1       1        0      OK : We're adding them anyway.
 452    B1      1       0        1      OK : We update them.
 453    B2      1       0        0     FAIL: We cannot add new user.
 454    C1      0       1        1      OK : We do nothing.  (maybe should update password?)
 455    C2      0       1        0      OK : We add the new user.
 456    D1      0       0        1      OK : We do nothing.  (maybe should update password?)
 457    D2      0       0        0     FAIL: We cannot add new user.
 458
 459 Note: failure here just means that Koha will fallback to checking the local DB.  That is, a given user could login with
 460 their LDAP password OR their local one.  If this is a problem, then you should enable update and supply a mapping for
 461 password.  Then the local value will be updated at successful LDAP login and the passwords will be synced.
 462
 463 If you choose NOT to update local users, the borrowers table will not be affected at all.
 464 Note that this means that patron passwords may appear to change if LDAP is ever disabled, because
 465 the local table never contained the LDAP values.
 466
 467 =head2 auth_by_bind
 468
 469 Binds as the user instead of retrieving their record.  Recommended if update disabled.
 470
 471 =head2 principal_name
 472
 473 Provides an optional sprintf-style format for manipulating the userid before the bind.
 474 Even though the userPrincipalName is one intended target, any uniquely identifying
 475 attribute that the server allows to be used for binding could be used.
 476
 477 Currently, principal_name only operates when auth_by_bind is enabled.
 478
 479 =head2 Active Directory
 480
 481 The auth_by_bind and principal_name settings are recommended for Active Directory.
 482
 483 Under default Active Directory rules, we cannot determine the distinguishedName attribute from the Koha userid as reliably as
 484 we would typically under openldap.  Instead of:
 485
 486     distinguishedName: CN=barnes.7,DC=my_company,DC=com
 487
 488 We might get:
 489
 490     distinguishedName: CN=Barnes\, Jim,OU=Test Accounts,OU=User Accounts,DC=my_company,DC=com
 491
 492 Matching that would require us to know more info about the account (firstname, surname) and to include punctuation and whitespace
 493 in Koha userids.  But the userPrincipalName should be consistent, something like:
 494
 495     userPrincipalName: barnes.7@my_company.com
 496
 497 Therefore it is often easier to bind to Active Directory with userPrincipalName, effectively the
 498 canonical email address for that user, or what it would be if email were enabled for them.  If Koha userid values
 499 will match the username portion of the userPrincipalName, and the domain suffix is the same for all users, then use principal_name
 500 like this:
 501     <principal_name>%s@core.my_company.com</principal_name>
 502
 503 The user of the previous example, barnes.7, would then attempt to bind as:
 504     barnes.7@core.my_company.com
