Tom, As I understand it: The Koha LDAP authentication mechanism copies user information from the LDAP tree to the local SQL database on the Koha server in order to create "user" accounts. I believe one of the minimum requirements to create a Koha "user" account is a password. Because of Koha's requirements for creating users, I don't think you will be able to populate the necessary fields to allow for users logins, without populating a password field. Last time I dealt with them, passwords were hashed with MD5, and no clear text password were saved on the Koha system. -Scott
Tom Hanstra<tom@nd.edu> 10/4/2011 9:56 AM >>> We now have LDAP working to authenticate on logins. But we have also noticed that Koha stores that same password locally. Is there a configurable switch that I have not yet found which will keep LDAP connected logins from local storage?
