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?

Conventions for CLI scripts
by Robin Sheat 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

There's been talk of making a few conventions for the parameters to command-line scripts. The initial discussion was dealing with "test mode" where it runs through all the actions but doesn't actually do anything, i.e. you know if it'll complete successfully. 1. There are two directions for this: I. By default the action will be performed, unless you add an argument (--dry-run for example.) II. By default the action will not be performed, unless you add an argument (--commit for example.) 2. What do we want to call the options, whichever way is picked? I. Keeping in mind that some things (-c for example) can conflict with other conventions. 3. Are there any other conventions we should deal with at the same time? While I have your attention, we should be more careful about how the dry run stuff is actually done. I've found one script that gives you a different count if you're in dry run mode (e.g. it'll say "0 actions done") which is strictly correct, but means you don't know if it's 0 because something's wrong, or because it's in dry run mode. Unless there's a good reason, it's best to do everything in a commit, so something like: $dbi->begin_work; ...do stuff... print "$count actions done.\n"; if ($dry_run) { $dbi->rollback; print "Changes NOT committed.\n"; } else { $dbi->commit; } This also has the side effect that if your program crashes in any mode, you're not left with an inconsistent result. But mostly it means that /everything/ will happen in exactly the same way no matter what, except the results just won't be saved. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF

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

Presentation to mailing list: akafred
by akafred 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

Hi! Just a short intro as per the welcome mail: I am contracted by the Oslo Public Library (Deichmanske bibliotek) in Norway to help out in their efforts to build systems for their new library that will open in Oslo in a few years. Koha has been chosen as a cornerstone in this effort. I have been working as a consultant for 15+ years, developing business critical systems for clients in and around Oslo. I LOVE programming, but I also have a passion for quality and a certain disdain for repetitive tasks, and error prone, manual, routines - so I am very into Test-Driven Development (London-style), automation (e g using provisioning tools like Ansible, SaltStack, Puppet, Chef) and prefer properly tested deployment units (like a jar, war, Docker image or, if all else fails, a virtual machine image). Generally, I think learning is what all development efforts should optimize their efforts for, and that transparency, collaboration and rapid feedback are key ingredients in achieving that. The better we are at learning the better we will be at creating awesome stuff that works for our end users. We are in an early phase in our efforts but if you are curious a lot of what we do will be publicly available on our github profile: https://github.com/digibib These days we are looking into how to deploy Koha in Docker. My real name is impossible for non-Norwegians to parse, remember and pronounce so on the interwebs I mostly go by a nickname I chose in a moment of general unclarity and confusion: "Fred" ... so I am a.k.a Fred .... akafred. I try to stop by #koha as akafred, but not always 'there' even if it looks like it - koha(a)akafred.com works though. See ya :-) Regards, - Kjetil a.k.a. "Fred"

Dom indexing operational with a fresh install?
by Francois Charbonnier 02 Oct '14

02 Oct '14

Hello, Yesterday, I bumped into an indexing bug. The 008 language code is not indexed. I can't find the records using this value. I checked on bugzilla and found this old bug : http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=7586. This bug changed "ln:n" by "ln:w" in record.abs . It works with grs-1 indexing. On Katrin advice, I checked if the installation is using dom or grs-1 indexing. I'm on 3.14.07. So it should use dom. koha-conf.xml says "dom" but zebra-biblios.cfg seems to say "grs"... So, I checked "zebra-biblios.cfg" on master and the default values are : * iso2709.recordType:grs.marcxml.record * marcxml.recordType:grs.sgml * recordType:grs.xml Shouldn't we have a reference to dom for these parameters? I also checked biblio-zebra-indexdefs.xsl and biblio-koha-indexdefs.xml and the language index is "ln:n". I tried to change it by "ln:w", restarted zebra server, reindexed but it didn't work. I followed the wiki instruction (http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Switching_to_dom_indexing) to change the "zebra-biblios.cfg" values as well but didn't work either. Any ideas?

Re: [Koha-devel] Regarding SMS Integration with Koha
by Jonathan Druart 25 Sep '14

The driver module is on the cpan: http://search.cpan.org/~nobull/SMS-Send-Clickatell-0.02/lib/SMS/Send/Clicka… You just have to fill the pref SMSSendUsername SMSSendDriver with Clickatell. The driver needs 3 values: api_id, user and password. Only the password can be filled by one of the Koha sms pref (SMSSendPassword). I developed a patch to permit to pass more than the "login" and "password" parameter to the driver. It has not been submitted on bugzilla. You can find it on the BibLibre repository: https://git.biblibre.com/biblibre/kohac/commit/49644ebf043c92ed0665388d1d29… The short version is: it won't work out of the box.
