Hi Koha people I see there is an option to add a Mozilla Persona app to help people log in th Koha. This sounds like a good idea, but it depends on whether enough people and enough other websites are using this feature. So, hands up - who uses Persona either to log in to other sites or in their Koha installation?

It doesn't really depend on people/websites using it. If you turn it on, it'll work just fine, and as a result will make things a bit nicer for your users when they go to use another persona-enabled website. So, I'd say try it out, nobody loses anything, everyone wins :) -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF

Yep it's not an either or. You can still login with your username/password, you just have an option to use persona instead. Chris

Mozilla dropped support for Persona: http://lwn.net/Articles/589989/ I don't use it because I don't like identity being tied to email addresses like that.
