[Bug 41209] New: Add the ability to choose an authentication method for patron or patron category
https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=41209 Bug ID: 41209 Summary: Add the ability to choose an authentication method for patron or patron category Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: 25.05 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P5 - low Component: Authentication Assignee: koha-bugs@lists.koha-community.org Reporter: koha@collecto.ca QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org CC: dpavlin@rot13.org Created attachment 189218 --> https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/attachment.cgi?id=189218&action=edit How Moodle allows admin to choose an authentication method Right now when opacuserlogin is activated, all methods of authentication are available for patrons on the OPAC. So if a library decides to change authentication method (from manual to SSO, for example), they need to either hide the manual login boxes with Javascript or make sure to change the password previewsly used for the manual authentication. Otherwise, the patrons would be able to login with either one of the methods. It would be great if we could force an authentification method at least in each of the patron categories or even at the patron level. By choosing a an authentication method for a patron or category, that method would be the only one available on the OPAC for that patron or category. This would : - be less of a headeache for libraries that decide to change the authentification method. - be less confusing for patrons that want to login on Koha by only seeing what is available for them - be more secure than login bozes being hidden by javascript code (not an IT analyst here but i've been told this il a less secure way to manage it).

Are there two different feature requests here? 1. Add selection of the available authentication methods, and hide the others. 2. If multiple authentication methods are enabled (and visible), let admins decide which of the methods (a) patron category and (b) individual patron can use to authenticate.
By choosing a an authentication method for a patron or category, that method would be the only one available on the OPAC for that patron or category. If the patron has not yet authenticated, we don't know who they are nor which category they belong to, so we have to show all available authentication methods.
