           Summary: librarian cannot log in because installer does not
                    initialize authentication database
           Product: Koha
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: Installation
        AssignedTo: tonnesen at cmsd.bc.ca
        ReportedBy: a.c.li at ieee.org
         QAContact: koha-devel at lists.sourceforge.net


In both 1.2.3RC23 and the latest CVS snapshot, the new authentication module is
used. Parts (CVS) or most (all?) (1.2.3RC23) of the librarian interface also
uses this authentication module, but installer.pl does not initialize the
authentication database. As a result, the system is unusable after installation.

Scenario: User installs Koha 1.2.3RC23 and chooses not to enable .htaccess
authentication (probably because he/she does not use Apache, and the web browser
uses some other access control methods). After installation, when he/she tries
to use the intranet interface, a login screen appears. Because the
authentication database has not been initialized, he/she cannot log in.

It is not clear how the users table should be initialized. Using the members
module is probably the correct way to initialize it, but accessing the members
module requires logging in first. So the system becomes completely unusable.
