LDAP sync
by Mr. Ian McNaught 11 Mar '18

11 Mar '18

Hi We've successfully got Koha running using LDAP to authenticate via our active directory server, but we would like to go one step further and have patron accounts provisioned based on user accounts in AD. Currently a user account will be created if they log in to the OPAC interface, but if they try to take a book on loan without first logging in, they will not have a patron account. To avoid this issue we are manually creating patron accounts that match up with AD accounts, but it would be nice if this part could be automated. Is there any sync script available? Or web service we could use to create said script? Has anyone else resolved this issue?

Capturing a "consent" field for new patrons
by Chris Brown 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

Gentle Reader, We need to capture an email "consent" field when we add new patrons to Koha. Currently my solution is to have staff type "yes" or "no" into the borrowernotes field but what I would really like is to have "yes" and "no" radio buttons, or failing that a drop-down with "yes" and "no" as the only options. And it would be really good if the field was labelled "email consent" on the patron entry form. Any suggestions gratefully received! Best Regards, Chris Brown

Integration with Banner
by Joelle Hannert 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

We're considering a switch to Koha, and I'm wondering whether any academic users would be willing to share information about Banner integration with me? A programmer at our institution set up a system to import student data from Banner into our current ILS (SirsiDynix Symphony), and we're hoping our new system can easily integrate so she doesn't have to re-do all her work. If your library has found a way to interface with Banner, how do you do it? Are you able to import and export data, or do you use API, or something like MySQL or Web Services? Thanks for any information you can share! Joelle -- Joelle Hannert Library Technical Services Coordinator Northwestern Michigan College (231) 995-1684 Work days: M, T evening, Th, F

How to use housebound module?
by Agnes Rivers-Moore 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

Dear Koha users I have failed to find any manual entries or Wiki description of how to use the homebound module. Bugzilla #5670 has been under way for a while so the project may have changed from the original outline. Also it may be called house bound, or homebound, or home-bound... but I still cannot find it. Can anyone point me towards the information, please, or can anyone share some more detailed description of what this is intended to do? Is anyone using it? Is any further functionality intended in future?

DNS for OPAC
by Ma. Victoria H. Silva-Manuel 09 Mar '18

09 Mar '18

Hi. Our library has a website which feature our OPAC, but it shows the IP address. Is it possible to set up a domain name for OPAC using our website's domain name? For example, our website is "library.org", can we make our OPAC domain name "library.org/opac"? We host Koha and our website is being host by web host provider. Thanks. -- Ma. Victoria H.
