http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12547 Bug ID: 12547 Summary: Create better API for handling external authentication Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Authentication Assignee: gmcharlt(a)gmail.com Reporter: dcook(a)prosentient.com.au QA Contact: testopia(a)bugs.koha-community.org CC: dpavlin(a)rot13.org At the moment, authentication is really handled all that consistently. There is Auth_with_cas.pm, Auth_with_ldap.pm, and perhaps one day Auth_with_Shibboleth.pm. There is also Persona which relies on a DOM API and Javascript on some OPAC pages. All of these different methods also hook into Auth.pm. They all work but it's not really that easy to see how they work nor is it straightforward to add new forms of external authentication. I don't have a plan of how to improve C4::Auth::checkauth() or C4::Auth, but I think it's worth thinking about. Obviously, it would require a ton of testing, but perhaps we could have incremental improvements. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
