Agreed, I think many institutions would benefit greatly from a directory of some (any) kind. Having a LDAP directory built into Koha would be a great "selling point" as well. maybe just add LDAP services to your existing Koha box, then loop Koha back at it's own LDAP server using the existing LDAP tools....might/should work....??? This should leave the existing structure of Koha in place....and yet give you some sort of LDAP service. Cheezy...but I don't see why it shouldn't work. Once you have Koha and LDAP talking, you can use all sorts of tools to populate/backup/export/distribute your LDAP directory. Owen Leonard wrote:
One potentially-horrible idea: develop Koha to function as an LDAP server, if need be.
That's something my library would definitely take advantage of. I'm not sure how complex it would be--I've been told it would be simple to do, and also told that it would not be simple :)
