Here is the AD bit from our koha-conf.xml:
<ldapserver id="DC">
<hostname>samba.domain.com</hostname>
<base>CN=Users,DC=samba,DC=domain,DC=com</base>
<replicate>1</replicate>
<update>1</update>
<auth_by_bind>1</auth_by_bind>
<principal_name>%[email protected]</principal_name>
<mapping> <!-- match koha SQL field names to your LDAP
record field names -->
<firstname is="givenName" ></firstname>
<surname is="sn" ></surname>
<address is="streetAddress" ></address>
<city is="l" ></city>
<zipcode is="postalCode" ></zipcode>
<branchcode is="branch" >our_branch</branchcode>
<userid is="uid" ></userid>
<password is="userPassword" ></password>
<email is="mail" ></email>
<categorycode is="employeeType" >A</categorycode>
<phone is="telephoneNumber"></phone>
</mapping>
</ldapserver>
Explained:samba.domain.com is the name of our active directory, if you specify that as hostname to bind to, koha will use (round robin) dns to connect to all DC's. Gives you a nice load spread, plus if one DC happens to be down, only some logons will fail.
(verify with "host samba.domain.com" reveral times in a row, it should normally return different ip's, dependin on your number of dc's)
Base should be your users container.Principal took me some time to understand: <principal_name>%[email protected]</principal_name>
%s is replaced with a username, so in my example koha tries to bind as [email protected]
I think the above explains it all? MJ On 09/10/2015 09:18 AM, Ahmad Amanullah Khan wrote:
Dear All I will appreciate if you guide us how you integrated KOHA with AD. Any guide will be highly appreciated.
