first of all if koha reads from ldap so skip the next step if not find the lines below # my $binddn = "cn=$userid,$name"; my $binddn = "uid=$userid,$name"; my $db = Net::LDAP->new( $ldapserver ); # do bind my $res =$db->bind( dn=>$binddn, password =>$password); you have two things to try: the fist one is to figure out if the "userid" is true in your organization database, if it's not "userid" it could be "id" or any thing else, change the string "userid" to the wright one. if it's true and nothing happened so move the # from the fist line and add it to the second line and see what will happen if nothing happened I think that you will have to write the password after "password =>$" and see what will happen if there is now a connection but it didn't work now we shall change the configuration of date base to match your own the next lines are the lines you should edit to make koha know which field it sould get the data from the koha definations are the one next to the $borrower, leve it unchanged and change the strings after the = &$ to match the database in your own organization and see what will happen my %borrower; $borrower{cardnumber} = $userid; $borrower{firstname} = $memberhash{gecos}; # MANDATORY FIELD $borrower{surname} = $memberhash{gecos}; # MANDATORY FIELD $borrower{initials} = substr($borrower{firstname},0,1).substr($borrower{surname},0,1)." "; #MANDATORY FIELD $borrower{streetaddress} = $memberhash{street}." "; #MANDATORY FIELD $borrower{city} = $memberhash{l}." "; # MANDATORY FIELD $borrower{phone} = $memberhash{homephone}." "; # MANDATORY FIELD $borrower{branchcode} = $memberhash{department}; # MANDATORY FIELD $borrower{emailaddress} = $memberhash{mail}; $borrower{categorycode} = $memberhash{designation}; _________________________________________________________________ Search from any web page with powerful protection.
