Encryption and Pseudonymization settings
by David Liddle 07 Jan '23

07 Jan '23

Greetings, all! We would like to activate the GDPR and Pseudonymization settings in our instance. However, the instance does not pass the check indicated by the caution: "Pseudonymization must only be turned on if the 'bcrypt_settings' configuration entry exists and is correctly filled in the Koha configuration file." At present, there is no further guidance provided. I see the following lines in the file /etc/koha/koha-conf-site.xml.in:  <bcrypt_settings>__BCRYPT_SETTINGS__</bcrypt_settings> What form should the content of this line and these settings take? What is the standard or 'best practice'? Are there limits? Should they be entered in this file, or should they be entered in the individual site's koha.conf file? Similarly, I would like to know what form the encryption key should take in this section:  <encryption_key>__ENCRYPTION_KEY__</encryption_key> Are there any risks or drawbacks to enabling these settings on a live site? (I'm executing them first on a QA server with a robust backup system, but it helps to know what to expect.) Thank you for considering my questions and offering your guidance! Regards, David Liddle

Cannot add biblio records
by Παναγιώτης Θ 05 Jan '23

05 Jan '23

Hello to everyone, I am installing Koha for the first time in a local theological library and I would very much appreciate your help. The task I was delegated to, is transfering an custom local library database, based on Unimarc, to Koha. I have installed Ububtu 22.04 in a VM and installed Koha with UNIMARC flavor without any errors. After transforming biblio and authorities records from the old db, using MarcEdit, in a form and type so that can be added to Koha, I encountered the following problem: All biblio records (using Stage MARC records for import tool) seem to be held in reservoir and do not appear in the catalog. Inspecting further the problem, I discovered that I cannot add a biblio record manualy, either!!! I have searched in previous mails in the list many hours and on the internet but I havent found anything similar. I followed tutorials and documentation but I still can't add any biblio record. The volume of new information is really big and maybe It is something simple that I am missing but really I cannot understand this behaviour. This is my setup Koha version: 22.05.00.000 OS version ('uname -a'): Linux panais-virtual-machine 5.15.0-52-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 13 08:03:55 UTC 2022 x86_64 Perl interpreter: /usr/bin/perl Perl version: 5.034000 Perl @INC: /usr/share/koha/lib /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.34.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.34.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.34 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl-base /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.34 /usr/share/perl/5.34 /usr/local/lib/site_perl /var/lib/koha/library3/plugins MySQL version: mysql Ver 8.0.31-0ubuntu0.22.04.1 for Linux on x86_64 ((Ubuntu)) Apache version: Server version: Apache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu) Memcached: Servers: 127.0.0.1:11211 | Namespace: koha_library3 | Status: running. | Config read from: koha-conf.xml Zebra version: Zebra 2.2.3 (C) 1994-2020, Index Data Zebra is free software, covered by the GNU General Public License, and you are welcome to change it and/or distribute copies of it under certain conditions.

I have a IT background and work with a librarian that helps me with the library glossary part. Thanks again for your time, Panagiotis PS. Koha's features are really exciting and hope we can manage to make the transition!

Next CatalogingSIG
by Hernandez, Heather H 04 Jan '23

04 Jan '23

Hi, all! There will be two Koha-US Cataloging Special Interest Group ("CatSIG") meetings in January! Our regular one is soon, Thursday, January 5, 2023, at 8 PT, 9 MT, 10 CT, 11 ET (16:00 UTC) and another one on Thursday, January 26, 2023, at 1(13:00)PT / 4(16:00)ET /9NZT / 20UTC! And since you don't have to be a member of Koha-US to join us, we're hoping the different times will make it possible for more folks to join in! This second meeting will be the first of additional, quarterly CatSIGs during the US's afternoons, as an experiment to see if more folks would like to join us at that time. And remember that you don't even need to self-identify as a cataloger! There will be our usual roundtable of questions, solutions and resource brainstorming, tips, tricks, suggestions, bug & development awareness, and the usual laughter, fun, and fellowship to discuss anything cataloging, authority, or metadata related in Koha. Not sure if it's cataloging related? It probably is! Actual catalogers do attend, as well as the cataloging curious and those who have had cataloging thrust upon them! Information on joining us is on the Koha-US calendar: Calendar – koha-US<https://koha-us.org/calendar/> Can't make it? No worries--it will be recorded and available on the Koha-US YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/kohaUS/playlists (See the Cataloging Special Interest Group's playlist for more cataloging fun!) As ever, feel free to send me any questions or topics for discussion ahead of time! See you there! --h2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ms. Heather Hernandez (she, her, hers) Technical Services Librarian Library catalog: https://keys.bywatersolutions.com/<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkeys.bywa…> San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park Research Center 2 Marina Blvd., Bldg.
