[Koha-devel] Koha::Object

[Kyle Hall]

I think authentication is the perfect way to use interfaces in Koha! That
way we can have a standard API for authentication be it internal, ldap,
cas, or whatever! Right now the way C4::Auth and it's ilk are mixed
together definitely creates headaches when attempting to debug
authentication issues.
