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?

Problems with Indexdata idzebra-2.0 build (Zebra 2.0.59)
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 04 May '15

04 May '15

There have been reports of problems with retrieving facets from Zebra using the latest idzebra build from IndexData's wheezy repository. I'm not able to install that version yet, to give it a try, I any one you succeeds please let me know so we track this down. For now, we should encourage people to use Debian's/Ubuntu's instead of adding IndexData's repo.

plack in production
by Gaetan Boisson 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

Hello all, we have been talking about plack quite a lot in the last hackfest, and i must say i am not that comfortable with the technical aspects and hardly understand what the issues are, but... I tried it with the help of our sysops a couple days ago, and i must say koha does feel *really* fast with plack enabled. If you havent yet, you should try. It really made me realize why this should be a priority for us to get it to work. Now, it turns out it really doesn't work for us. It keeps crashing every few minutes. We haven't had time to investigate any further, but before pouring more time in this i wanted to know whether anyone was using it seriously (including for the staff interface), and what your conclusions are. Importantly, i would also like to know more about the recommended configuration, and the areas we should have a close look at in our set up. Thanks for your advice! -- Gaetan Boisson Chef de projet bibliothécaire BibLibre 06 52 42 51 29 108 avenue Breteuil 13006 Marseille gaetan.boisson(a)biblibre.com

Git repository cleanup
by Tomas Cohen Arazi 10 Apr '15

10 Apr '15

We have talked in the past about removing translation files from the git repo. For that to happen, we need to have a properly set translations repository, and a workflow modification (probably). Is there any work going on that direction? -- Tomás Cohen Arazi Prosecretaría de Informática Universidad Nacional de Córdoba ✆ +54 351 5353750 ext 13168 GPG: B76C 6E7C 2D80 551A C765 E225 0A27 2EA1 B2F3 C15F

Browser-based tests

31 Mar '15

Hello devs, A (very) quick email to let you know I have submitted patches on bug 13691 - Add some selenium scripts and bug 13849 - Introduce acceptance tests with cucumber I would like to start a discussion on these subjects: selenium, cubumber, browser-based tests, acceptance tests, etc. What are you opinions? Should we stuck to Test::WWW::Mechanize or it's worth to have a look somewhere else? Useless ? Worth a try ? Very useful ? Cheers, Jonathan

Install and use memcached
by Tajoli Zeno 27 Mar '15

27 Mar '15

Hi to all, I'm starting to use memcached. I see that there isn't many info in Koha wiki. I installed it with sudo apt-get install memcached on Debian Wheezy Setup the variables in koha-httpd.conf It works !! So the questions: Is the package libmemcached useful to install ? For apt-get it is only 'suggest' How much RAM ? The default in /etc/memcached.conf is 64 MB, I don't what could be a 'good' value.
