Hi list, This functionality is something that we would love to see added to Koha in our school too. We use LDAP and / or Google oAuth login for most of our systems to ensure that usernames and passwords are consistent across our systems. We use Moodle as our school's Virtual Learning Environment, and this system has the ability to create / synchronise users from LDAP into the system. I would love to be able to do this for our patrons in Koha too. We self-check out modules that use a Mifare card to log the user in; the card number is copied across from LDAP at user login to OPAC. This means that before a user can use the self-check units they have to have first logged into the OPAC. A user sync script with LDAP would remove this requirement...

Hi,
as others have pointed out, there is no way to do this via LDAP in Koha at the moment.
What you could do is maybe get a list of patron information from your AD to use with the patron import tool. You could regularly import the new patrons manually or automated via the available command line tools. There are also REST API endpoints for patron data that might be useful.
Hope this helps,
Katrin
Hello,
We have Koha 21.05 installed and configured to work with AD. Everything is fine, users can login to Koha using AD credentials, but in Patron list
appear only after successful authorisation. It is quite annoying, because if you want to assign book to the reader, he/she has to be in patron

Is it possible to create Cron job to import users to patron list automatically from AD (it is enough to import only a few fields, all other fields can be updated after user login)?
Thanks for the answers _______________________________________________
