Hi all,
First: Please forgive my ignorance.....I'm not a programmer....and I may be biting off more than I can chew ......
Is there a (easy) way to pass authentication information to Koha ?? Or.....a way to have/make Koha generate a session cookie based on external information? Or maybe change the way cookies are generated/issued?
I've been trying to figure out a way for my users (k-12 students) to use the same login/password in Koha as they do everywhere else. We use Novell NDS/LDAP as our main authentication mechanism.
I have a basic PHP/Perl login script ( http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/tools/14122.html) that can return basic information like: ****************************** Bind result is: 1 1 entries returned Login Successful - Welcome Test Student Here you could add sessions or cookies to verify the person has logged in with the corect UserName and Password.
*Title:* *Sur Name:* Student *Given Name:* Test *E-Mail:*
********************************
I have tried using the Auth_With_ldap.pm but have been unable to get it to work :-( and decided to try this approach instead.
Thanks for any help.

What specific problem are you having with Auth_with_ldap.pm? Figuring out the problem with that might be easier than hacking the main authentication code. :) -- Jesse Weaver Software Developer, LibLime
