What is the timeline for the authentication stuff? I've gone through some of the authentication stuff and it seems deeply embedded (ie: not modular) to do this right the authentication should be completely abstracted from the app and allow a simple drop in authentication replacement. If this were the case i'd happilly write the ldap stuff. Are there plans to modularize all this stuff? Thanks.... Joshua Brindle UNIX Administrator Southern Nazarene University

Wow!, that would be the perfect thing to be in the installation docs :\ In fact, it's the perfect thing to test during the installation process. I'll fix this for 1.9.0 seriously, i didn't even think to check CPAN for the module, i assumed it was part of Koha. Thanks a lot... Also, do you guys think that koha can handle my library? 90000 books, maybe a dozen librarians and a couple thousand patrons? I'd have to make it authenticate to LDAP rather that mysql but that should be trivial... Thanks again Without any problems (if you don't plan to install it on a Pentium 100 server :-) ) About LDAP : others also ask for this. the management team plans to : * release 2.0 with authentification as it is, through mysql tables. * add differents auth methods in the 2.1 or 2.2 version -- Paul POULAINConsultant indépendant en logiciels libresresponsable francophone de koha (SIGB libre http://www.koha-fr.org)
