Tom,
What version are you on? From the code, the password hash should only be stored if the patron is returning (that is they already have an account in Koha), and you have Update turned on. Alternatively, if you've got a new patron signing in for the first time, and Replicate is on, and you've got the password in the <mapping>, then it would also be hashed and stored. These should be the only circumstances. -Ian 2011/10/4 Scott Owen <[email protected]> > Tom, > > As I understand it: > The Koha LDAP authentication mechanism copies user information from the > LDAP tree to the local SQL database on the Koha server in order to create > "user" accounts. > I believe one of the minimum requirements to create a Koha "user" account > is a password. > Because of Koha's requirements for creating users, I don't think you will > be able to populate the necessary fields to allow for users logins, without > populating a password field. > Last time I dealt with them, passwords were hashed with MD5, and no clear > text password were saved on the Koha system. > > -Scott > > > > > >>> Tom Hanstra<[email protected]> 10/4/2011 9:56 AM >>> > > We now have LDAP working to authenticate on logins.
