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?

Search speed
by Paul A 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

I have progressed a little further on this subject using multiple parallel tests for from 0 to ~25k biblios on a new, relatively fast server. In brief: 3.08 averages 0.88 secs per search 3.18 averages 5.06 secs for the same searches, but... 3.18 averages only 1.52 secs if I turn off facets. Facets appear to have a huge overhead in various components of Zebra, to the point where a single core of a multiple processor CPU gets overwhelmed, but does not share the load with other totally idle cores. Intel tell me that this is not fixable through any hardware/BIOS config and they are not aware of a Linux "standard library" that deals with processor affinity. I've searched around a little and found mentions for c and FORTRAN (marvelous old memories for me!) but so far nothing totally specific for Perl. taskset and sched_setaffinity might be usable at system level, and I might have a look at pthread_setaffinity_np.3.gz I've posted test results, notes and three sets of NYTProf analysis at <http://navalmarinearchive.com/z_koha/> and would appreciate if anyone has any suggestions or comparative tests and outcomes. Thanks and best regards -- Paul

New features for Dublin Core metadata
by Hector Castro 30 Jan '15

30 Jan '15

Hi, Koha Developers. I wrote a Dublin Core metadata support to export in XML and RDF formats. This code follow the Dublin Core Specifications at: < http://dublincore.org/specifications/> specially DC-XML, Simple DC-RDF, and DC-RDF recommendations. Aditionally support OAI-DC schema at < http://www.openarchives.org/OAI/2.0/oai_dc.xsd>. RDF can be exported as multiple formats like: rdfxml, rdfjson, ntriples, turtle, etc. It was neccesary to create a custom module (C4::DublinCoreTransformer) to transform the object created by DublinCore::Record and MARC::Crosswalk::DublinCore. The module returns all the formats as string. I file a bug to test it at: < http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13642> Regards, -- Atte, Héctor Eduardo Castro Avalos Universidad de El Salvador Facultad Multidisciplinaria Oriental

Template Toolkit BLOCK in INCLUDE file
by David Cook 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

Hi all: I was looking at defining some TT BLOCKs in an include file which I would INCLUDE into my main template and then PROCESS as needed (as part of bug 13631 http://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=13631) However, I noticed that you can't access a BLOCK in an included file. I noticed some seemingly non-functional examples already in the Koha codebase. For instance, in "koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/modules/opac-auth-detail.tt" we try to process the blocks from the include "/koha-tmpl/opac-tmpl/bootstrap/en/includes/opac-authorities.inc", but from what I can see. none of them work (you can try for yourself at "/cgi-bin/koha/opac-authoritiesdetail.pl") . I also did heaps of tests myself. If you PROCESS or INCLUDE another file, you get everything EXCEPT the BLOCK. It does seem like there are some ways around this though. 1) If you use the EXPOSE_BLOCKS option in the Template->new() constructor, you can directly INCLUDE/PROCESS a BLOCK from an included file. (http://mail.template-toolkit.org/pipermail/templates/2002-July/003460.html) . However, this option isn't documented in the official website at all, so I'd be hesitant to use this. 2) When you INCLUDE/PROCESS an external file, you can pass variables to it. You could pass a variable to the external file, and have it execute PROCESS/INCLUDE from within that file. At the moment, I'm doing the second.

Hi Fridolin, Il 23/01/2015 14:10, Fridolin SOMERS ha scritto: > "koha-perldeps" is the name of the meta-package having all perl libs has > dependancies. > You can install it even if you do not install "koha-common". > > We use it to maintain our dev env. attention that the meta-package koha-perldeps (testd from stable and from dev) doesn't install ALL package that Koha needs. I find that same packages are not installed but you need them to use koha. The list is the same from stable and unstable repo. The list: Apache packages: apache2 apache2-mpm-itk apache2-utils apache2.2-bin apache2.2-common Yaz, Zebra, git and others packages: autopoint docbook-xml docbook-xsl gettext git git-man idzebra-2.0 idzebra-2.0-common idzebra-2.0-doc idzebra-2.0-utils javascript-common libapr1 libaprutil1 libaprutil1-dbd-sqlite3 libaprutil1-ldap libcroco3 libcurl3-gnutls liberror-perl libgettextpo0 libicu-dev libidzebra-2.0 libidzebra-2.0-dev libidzebra-2.0-mod-alvis libidzebra-2.0-mod-dom libidzebra-2.0-mod-grs-marc libidzebra-2.0-mod-grs-regx libidzebra-2.0-mod-grs-xml libidzebra-2.0-mod-text libidzebra-2.0-modules libjs-jquery libjs-yui librtmp0 libssh2-1 libunistring0 libxml2-dev libxml2-utils libxslt1-dev libyaz5-dev perl-doc pwgen rsync sgml-data ssl-cert tcl8.4 tinymce unzip wwwconfig-common xmlstarlet xsltproc yaz So (for everyone) if you want to install ONLY koha packages from a Net install of Debian stable you need: -- From 'root' apt-get build-essential apt-get install systemd apt-get install sudo Insert 'koha' in sudoers Install koha repo I suggest to install also IndexData repo -- From 'koha' sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install koha-perldeps sudo apt-get install mysql-server [if you want mysql on the same hw of Koha] sudo apt-get install <the list above> To finish now those package must be installed/updated with CPAN: HTTPD::Bench::ApacheBench Test::DBIx::Class Archive::Extract DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader Test::WWW::Mechanize Except Archive::Extract (for Plugins) the others are mandatory only for development.

(here, i'm specifically talking to : *PTFS-E*, *Dobrica*, *Oslo*, *Olli*, *Zeno*, *Giannis* : you came last year, don't you want to come again ?)
