https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=33538 Bug ID: 33538 Summary: Allow for independent shibboleth autocreate and sync mapping Change sponsored?: --- Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Authentication Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: pgsengstock@wisc.edu QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: dpavlin@rot13.org Shibboleth auth's autocreate and sync functions both rely on the same //shibboleth/mapping block in koha-conf.xml. Because autocreate requires mapping and/or defaults for branchcode and categorycode, this has the undesired affect of overwriting manual edits to borrowers on later syncs if the those fields are not delivered via shibboleth and explicitly mapped. Example: 1) Patron signs in for first time and borrower account is autocreated with a default branch and categorycode. 2) Staff update patron to set new branch and category codes as needed (e.g. from "SSOAUTH" to "MAINLIB"). 3) On next sign-in, patron's mapped data is synced, but branch and category codes are overwritten with the defaults. Suggested workaround is to differentiate //shibboleth/autocreatemapping vs //shibboleth/syncmapping. This allows greater control over which fields are mapped for autocreate vs sync. This schema change would not be backward compatible, though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. You are watching all bug changes.
