How to get CAS based Single Sign On working?
by Koustubha Kale 25 May '15

25 May '15

Hi All, I have a situation where we have a main website based on Joomla. This Joomla site uses CAS to authenticate users. We would like users ( who have already logged in to the Joomla site via CAS) to be able to follow a link to Koha site and be logged in automatically ( e.g. Single Sign On ). I have got simple CAS ( not proxy CAS ) working with Koha ( version 3.2.6 ) using the same CAS server as used by Joomla site. Still when I login to Joomla site with CAS, and then go to Koha and click on login and follow the CAS login link, I am asked to fill up CAS login information again. How can this be avoided by using CAS SSO? I have read through http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SSO_CAS_improvements and am confused by the statement "Note: simple sso cas support (no proxy) has been done already by biblibre, is in testing and should be released in Koha 3.2" in there. Does this statement mean that SSO is possible with simple CAS? If yes how to set it up? If not, I have also read through bugs 6012, 5630 and the CAS Proxy examples. Frankly I haven't been able to figure out how I can achieve the above required functionality based on all the reading. Any help is much appreciated.. Another related query is, Is it possible to automatically create users in Koha once they have authenticated with CAS?

952$j
by Paul 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

Our cataloguers have asked for additional precision in specific stacks -- 952$j "Shelving control number" would appear to be perfect :=) However, any value entered (eg: LLF15 -- loose leaf folder #15) systematically saves as 0 and SchemaSpy doesn't appear to even mention this field which is in the "default template" with no apparent restrictions. Can anyone with good "corporate memory" of 952$j use and programming please assist? Many thanks and best regards -- Paul

koha-3.00.00 make fails
by Rick Welykochy 28 Dec '13

28 Dec '13

Hi all, I have downloaded http://download.koha.org/koha-3.00.00.tar.gz and began installing it on Debian/etch (in a Linux vserver environment). 0. FINE: cd koha-3.00.00 1. FINE: perl Makefile.PL 2. FAIL: make : : : Manifying blib/man3/C4::UploadedFile.3pm Manifying blib/man3/C4::BackgroundJob.3pm Manifying blib/man3/opac::opac-dictionary.3pm Manifying blib/man3/serials::member-search.3pm /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" fix-perl-path.PL blib /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" rewrite-config.PL blib/KOHA_CONF_DIR/koha-conf.xml Bad arg length for Socket::inet_ntoa, length is 0, should be 4 at rewrite-config.PL line 67. make: *** [blib/KOHA_CONF_DIR/koha-conf.xml] Error 255 Any ideas what went wrong and how to fix? Aside: there were a couple of other problems with this "out of the box" debian based install of Koha 3.0 which had to be fixed along the way, e.g. seven missing perl modules and libgd not found. I'll report on the entire process from unpacking to a running Koha/3.00.00 once I get to the end. cheers rickw -- ________________________________________________________________ Rick Welykochy || Praxis Services || Internet Driving Instructor The manual said Windows XP/SP2 or better so I installed Linux.

Jenkins status [was Jenkins build is back to stable : Koha_master #1475]
by Jonathan Druart 06 Nov '13

06 Nov '13

Hi all! I often receive emails from Jenkins: "master is unstable", "master is back to stable". Last unstable status was caused by a fail in t/db_dependent/Acquisition/Invoices.t (I think). Here Jenkins says : "it is stable, see changes". But changes are about a tt change. I don't know who fixed the failure and how it was fixed. It is frustrating not to know :) Especially because the tests pass on master with my data! Do you think it would be possible to put something in place in order to follow Jenkins ' moods? For discussion. Regards, Jonathan 2013/10/23 <chris(a)bigballofwax.co.nz>: > See <http://jenkins.koha-community.org/job/Koha_master/1475/changes> >

Hi, Chad Roseburg of North Central Regional Library has volunteered to assume the role of community newsletter editor starting with the December issue. Thanks, Chad! As I recall, when I took over from Nicole the only requirement was the willingness to do it. What's the current process for Chad to get approved by the community? Thanks, Daniel Grobani

Re: [Koha-devel] OPAC theme proposal
