Dear all, At the moment the users account on koha.org, the wiki and the bug tracking system are distinct. Would it be possible to have only one user account database which would then be used for all the parts of the Koha website ? What do you althink about it ? Cheers, Sébastien.

Wouldn't something such as LDAP work ? Sure, it would not avoid to have to ogin, but it would avoid to have to create accounts in several places and guarantee that the username/password pair is the same for all components of the website (site itself, wiki, BTS, mailing-list also?). Cheers, Sébastien.
Some kind of LDAP or SAML server?

I'm not a specialist of authentication-related things, but probably, yes. Just a single place to store usr-related information (logins, passwords, e-mail...) and which would be consulted by all the Koha related services when someone logs in to that service. Sébastien.

It's almost possible and it's a good idea. The wiki already supports OpenID. The security questions some have over OpenID aren't terribly severe for the Koha websites at present. The bugzilla OpenID extension (for bugs.koha.org) is under development at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:OpenID_Auth_Plugin The Plone OpenID extension (for the website) is http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/openid-support/ In general, any service which can use HTTP authentication could be secured with mod_auth_openid from http://trac.butterfat.net/public/mod_auth_openid which is packaged for debian as libapache2-mod-auth-openid but I didn't find how bugzilla could use HTTP authentication.

As far as I can tell from the associated bugzilla bug <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=294608>, nobody is actively working on this. If somebody wants to pick this up and provide a patch that can be contributed to Mozilla and added to bugs.koha.org, I'd be happy to help test.

For me yes, certainly ! Thanks for investigating ! Sébastien.
