https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16694 Bug ID: 16694 Summary: Limit SIP2 auth by patron attribute Change sponsored?: Sponsored Product: Koha Version: master Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Authentication Assignee: magnus@libriotech.no Reporter: magnus@libriotech.no QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: dpavlin@rot13.org In Scandinavia "more open" (Swedish: "Meröppet", Norwegian: "Meråpent") is a hot issue at the moment. What this means is that patrons can use their card and password/PIN to lock themselves into the library even when staff is not around. Typically, this means that patrons can get access to the library building from 7 am to 11 pm, even if the library is only staffed from 8 am to 5 pm. Typically, SIP2 is used to communnicate between the "more open"-system and the ILS, specifically to authenticate the user with a username and password/PIN. Also, you want the ability to turn "more open" access on and off for patrons. An extended patron attribute with possible values of NULL/empty, 0 or 1 should serve well for this. SIP2 does not have a field for saying "this is a moreopen login", so we need a way to identify a SIP2 user as a moreopen user. My plan is to add another attribute to the login element in SIPConfig.xml to achieve this: <login id="koha" password="koha" delimiter="|" error-detect="enabled" institution="kohalibrary" patron-attribute="MEROPPET" /> "MEROPPET" is then the name of an extended patron attribute which can be set to NULL or 0 (patron should not have access to moreopen) or 1 (patron should have access). This should be flexible enough to allow other, similar schemes to use some other patron attribute. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
