Sorry. I have marked Bug 147 invalid. The librarian can log in with the kohaadmin username and password (in both 1.2.3RC23 and CVS); and this is explained in the 1.2.3RC23 installer (though I did miss it not just once but several times; re-installing became so mechanical for me).
But I guess I then have 2 questions:
1. In 1.2.2, the "kohaadmin" username and password are used strictly as a database username and password; the librarian username and password are separate. Is the change an indeed what is intended?
In 1.2.2 the only way to authenticate was with basic authentication, and this had to be set up and maintained outside of Koha (ie by using htpasswd). Since 1.2.3, Koha has an internal authentication module, and it was intentionally decided that the username/password in /etc/koha.conf would be a superuser account.
2. This leaves the installers of both versions asking for unused information (the librarian username and password). I guess that questions has to be taken out.
I thought it only asked that question if you asked it to use basic authentication instead of Koha's internal authentication? I'll have to check that. Steve.
