Hi everyone, I've just started working on some "connector" code to extend some functionality of our Koha instance by interacting with another web app we use. I'm wanting to authenticate users to their Koha accounts and it seems like using the ILSDI api would be the easiest way, since it would it would allow me to not have to make a direct DB connection. However, looking at the AuthenticatePatron action, I'm not too comfortable passing username and password simply as clear text GET parameters, so I am trying to come up with some ways to avoid this, as it's not very secure. Limiting IP access to the ilsdi.pl probably does not complete resolve this issue, since the username and password will still be captured in the http logs. I am curious what are some of the security measures others are using when using this api? Thanks for any help! Very much appreciated...best, chris fitzpatrick
