405 =head1 LDAP Configuration
407 This module is specific to LDAP authentification. It requires Net::LDAP package and one or more
408 working LDAP servers.
410 * Modify ldapserver element in KOHA_CONF
411 * Establish field mapping in <mapping> element.
413 For example, if your user records are stored according to the inetOrgPerson schema, RFC#2798,
414 the username would match the "uid" field, and the password should match the "userpassword" field.
416 Make sure that ALL required fields are populated by your LDAP database (and mapped in KOHA_CONF).
417 What are the required fields? Well, in mysql you can check the database table "borrowers" like this:

534 The <mapping> subelements establish the relationship between mysql fields and LDAP attributes. The element name

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