Is there documentation about this new feature available somewhere? The documentation is inside C4/Auth_with_shibboleth.pm in POD format. To see it:
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12026 --- Comment #88 from Zeno Tajoli <z.tajoli@cineca.it> --- Hi Katrin, in fact to answer your question you need to read also the code. I do some answers: perldoc C4/Auth_with_shibboleth.pm
Is it possible to choose if you want to add a new user and update existing users like it is with LDAP?
No. The system only adds a new user, it does not update an existing user. And it adds a new user only when, inside login process, it finds that there isn't an existing user with userid = the shibboleth attribure defined with this XML in koha-conf.xml: <matchpoint>userid</matchpoint> <mapping> <userid is="uid"></userid> </mapping>
Do the attributes have to match exactly to what Koha expects (branchcode, categorycode specifically) or is there a way to do a mapping?
You can mapping using koha-conf.xml. This is an example: <matchpoint>userid</matchpoint> <mapping> <userid is="uid"></userid> <surname is="sn"></surname> <categorycode is="tip"></categorycode> <branchcode is="cod"></branchcode> <email is="uid"></email> <emailpro is="mail"></emailpro> </mapping> The <matchpoint> ... </matchpoint> and the connected attribute are clearly mandatory. Also attributes for categorycode and branchcode are mandatory, I think. Ohters are optional. Bye -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
