Thanks for this information. I missed the Configuration table in my
first review of this.
If I'm reading this right, then, if I want to populate Koha with
information from LDAP I have two choices:
- Allow replication and wait for that patron to complete a login. Then
the information will be brought in.
- Perform a batch export from LDAP and then a batch load into production.
Is that right? Or am I missing another option?
Thanks,
Tom

Where can I find additional documentation on how Koha interacts with LDAP.
Options in the configuration file include "replicate" and "update", but
I've yet to get a good understanding of how each fully works and how I can
best populate patrons using data from my LDAP server.
replicate is one-time option when user which just typed correct login
and password doesn't exist in Koha. If enabled, it will create
new user in Koha.
update is triggered every time users logs in, and it will overwrite
that user info in Koha using data from LDAP. So, if you edited
user which originally came from LDAP in Koha
and user logs in again, that data will be overwritten.
In our configuration we are using just replicate to create new users,
and since we have script which keep just dateexpiry in Koha
in sync with LDAP we are not using update.
Documentation embedded withing koha and available via perldoc
Auth_with_ldap.pm is as far as I know, best resource for LDAP configuration.
An easy way to read that documentation is here
http://perldoc.koha-community.org/C4/Auth_with_ldap.html
All the perldoc lives at
