Koha as SRU Server authentication problem
by DHIM IT 25 Aug '22

25 Aug '22

Dear Colleagues, I use Koha as SRU Server (Version 22.05.03). I can connect to the server without credentials (user and password is blank) and with credentials from koha-conf.xml How can I disable connection without credentials? Example from koha-conf.xml: <serverinfo id="publicserver"> <ccl2rpn>/etc/koha/zebradb/ccl.properties</ccl2rpn> <user>kohauser</user> <password>password</password> </serverinfo> Best regards Eugen Bastron

Thesaurus not working for "used for/see from"
by Bales (US), Tasha R 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

Good afternoon, I'm looking for tips to solve an authority record problem. I noticed that none of my "used for/see from" headings are hyperlinked when I browse authorities in Koha. If I attempt a search for one of these unlinked terms, no results are found-the thesaurus isn't working. Surely, something must be wrong with the MARC authority record, but I'm not sure what and I'm looking for suggestions! I load authorities, but don't maintain them. I'm not sure what the problem could be, after comparing to the MARC standard for authorities and a couple examples in OCLC. These records functioned fine in Millennium. Does Koha expect/require additional metadata to make these metadata searchable? Perhaps it is a Global System Preference that is incorrect? Here is an example of a record I just loaded from OCLC, below. My expectation is that if I search my OPAC subject index for a phrase that is in one of the 450's below, I should retrieve any bib records with a 650 field that contains "Brined cheeses", but no results are found. Maybe I am completely misunderstanding how authority records work? 000 00675cz a2200217n 4500 001 oca02939087 003 OCoLC 005 20220809013034.0 008 910306i| anannbabn |a ana 010 _ash 91000983 040 _aDLC _cDLC _dDLC 053 0 _aSF272.B76 150 _aBrined cheeses 450 _aBrine-cured cheeses 450 _aWhite brine-cured cheeses 450 _aWhite brined cheeses 550 _wg _aCheese _xVarieties 670 _aWork cat.: Feta and related cheeses, 1991 _b(white brined cheeses) 670 _aRandom House _b(feta ... white, brine-cured Greek cheese) 670 _aWeb. 3 _b(feta ... white cheese ... cured in brine) 675 _aCompletely cheese Tasha Bales

Unexpected behavior when authenticating over LDAP (AD)
by Chris Halliwell 22 Aug '22

22 Aug '22

Hello, Koha Version: 22.05.03.000 OS: Ubuntu server 20.04.4 LTS (Focal Fossa) DB: Ver 15.1 Distrib 10.3.34-MariaDB The relevant section of our koha-conf.xml is: <useldapserver>1</useldapserver> <ldapserver id="ldapserver"> <hostname>### REDACTED ###</hostname> <base>### REDACTED ###</base> <replicate>1</replicate> <update>1</update> <update_password>1</update_password> <auth_by_bind>1</auth_by_bind> <anonymous_bind>0</anonymous_bind> <principal_name>%s@### REDACTED ###</principal_name> <mapping> <cardnumber is="title"></cardnumber> <branchcode is="">CGSL</branchcode> <address is="">118-124 Kennington Park Road</address> <city is="">London</city> <categorycode is="department"></categorycode> <surname is="sn"></surname> <firstname is="givenName"></firstname> <email is="company"></email> <userid is="SAMAccountName"></userid> </mapping> </ldapserver> When a new user logs in via AD, and when that user has no currently existing account on Koha, things work very well. However, if a user has an existing account created by an admin prior to them actually logging in via AD for the first time, it becomes possible for that user to log on with either their AD password, or with the password that was set when their account was created initially by a Koha admin. Expected behavior would be that the user's AD password does not only get added to their record in Koha, but also that it replaces any other password for that user. I have determined that: 1 - both passwords are defintely accessing the same user account, and that details changed in AD are indeed updating for that account 2 - it's not a case of an arbitrary login working. Only those two passwords will work, nothing else will. Grateful for any insghts into how this may be happening. Thanks and best regards, Chris Chris Halliwell I IT Manager City & Guilds of London Art School, 124 Kennington Park Road, London SE11 4DJ Charity Registration no. 1144708 I Company no. 7817519 www.cityandguildsartschool.ac.uk<http://www.cityandguildsartschool.ac.uk/>
