by Tom Hanstra 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

Where am I missing the documentation for adding memcached to Koha? I don't currently have it installed but would like to try it. Where can I find instructions on how to properly add the software and configure it and then configure Koha to use it?

LDAP authentication problem
by Lichtsteiner Patric (lici) 26 Mar '19

26 Mar '19

Hi all, We are currently evaluating koha for our university. Right now, I’m trying to configure ldap authentication. I followed the following guides: https://openschoolsolutions.org/koha-ldap-setup/ https://perldoc.koha-community.org/C4/Auth_with_ldap.html I did the following configuration in /etc/koha/sites/<library name>/koha-conf.xml <useldapserver>1</useldapserver> <ldapserver id="ldapserver" listenref="ldapserver"> <hostname>ldap://ldap.domain.ch</hostname> <base>ou=users,DC=domain,DC=ch</base> <user>CN=srvc-koha,OU=unit,DC=domain,DC=ch</user> <pass>somepass</pass> <replicate>1</replicate>  <update>1</update>  <auth_by_bind>1</auth_by_bind>  <principal_name>%s(a)domain.ch</principal_name> <update_password>0</update_password> <mapping>  <firstname is="givenname" ></firstname> <surname is="sn" ></surname> <userid is="uidNumber" ></userid> <email is="mail" ></email> <phone is="telephonenumber"></phone> </mapping> </ldapserver> I’m trying to login to OPAC, but get the error message "You entered an incorrect username or password.” and the log file /var/log/koha/<library name>/opac-error.log is still empty. How can I debug the ldap authentication in koha? Best, Patric

Self Checkout after Login
by Mihai Mihai 26 Mar '19

26 Mar '19

Hi all, we are using Google open ID to login to our Catalog or Username and Password. It works great, we have to do this since we have restricted resources available directly from the catalog only to our users. I have problem with checkout. Once a student logs in to OPAC and is trying to self check out the authenticated session will not let them access the /cgi-bin/koha/sco/ sco-main.pl unless they user is given specific permission in system preferences to use the self checkout feature. Is it ok to give all patrons that need to self checkout the permission to do so ? Is there another approach anyone knows to such a problem ? Thank you!

18.11 - Indexing
by Tom Hanstra 26 Mar '19

26 Mar '19

Can someone point me to documentation on the current state of indexing for 18.11? I seem to recall a year or two ago some information on support for Solr and now I see some info on Elasticsearch. Are either of these fully supported for 18.11 or should I be sticking with tried and true Zebra for indexing? What are the plans for the future? I'm sorry if these questions have been covered before. I only check in with the Koha community when we upgrade in the Spring, so these may be fully discussed earlier. But I'm not seeing much in the documentation I've reviewed so far. Thanks, Tom -- *Tom Hanstra* *Sr. Systems Administrator* hanstra(a)nd.edu <http://library.nd.edu/>

Barcode Issue-Please Help!
by abrazier＠buttepubliclibrary.info 26 Mar '19

26 Mar '19

We are having issues with our barcodes. They are not generating as we expect them to and we'd like to know if anyone has any input regarding the following issue. Here is my original message: While editing items that are being added to our collection, when we click in the field (p - Piece designation (barcode)) which we have always had set to (autoBarcode: generated in the form 1, 2, 3) we are no longer getting the barcode we expect to see. We suspect it is now going back to barcodes that once belonged to items that are now deleted (because, that earlier barcode is now available). A great reply from somebody in the community: I took a look at the Koha source code, and it seems that for some barcode types, it is using this SQL to determine where to start generating new barcodes: select max(abs(barcode)) from items; It then increments the value that it obtains this way to use as the new barcode. So I suspect that you could fix your problem by creating a dummy item that has the first barcode you want to use, minus one. Note that I am not an expert and have not tried this myself. Has anyone tried this before? Any library out there that is making the transition to Koha? How did you indicate where you would like to numerically begin ordering the barcodes that come up in the autoBarcode feature? Any help would be very appreciated!!! Thank-you, Allen from Butte, MT
