Does anyone have detailed instructions for enabling and configuring Koha 3 with LDAP for authentication? This would be one of the major reasons for us moving to Koha from our current ILS. The man page for the LDAP plugin indicates that LDAP must supply *ALL* required fields for patron records. Our I.T. has advised us of the following for our LDAP server:
It can be used for authentication only. It will not return data for fields.
It will not allow anonymous binds.
It will not return a password for Koha to compare. Koha must supply the password or the hash to LDAP.
Given these constraints, how do we configure Koha to use LDAP?
Note that some patches were recently submitted to improve the configuration of LDAP, please update from Git and read perldoc C4/Auth_with_ldap.pm to see how to configure it. And thanks to Joe Atzberger for his work on this.
