[Koha] Multiple LDAPs

Koha folks,

 

 

My library serves multiple institutions, and we have valid library
patrons coming to us  who are authenticated against different LDAP
servers.  I remember seeing somewhere, briefly, in some Koha
documentation, something about support for multiple LDAPs, but when I
try to find it again, or any kind of example on how to set it up, I turn
up nothing.

 

We'd want the system to behave something like this:

1.       Check first LDAP; if patron authenticates, end.  Else:

2.       Check second LDAP; if patron authenticates, end.  Else:

3.       Either check a third LDAP, or just use the internal Koha login
authentication (can one mix and match LDAP auth and Koha DB auth?).

4.       Ultimately reject if not in any of the above sources

 

Does the existing code support this, or would a modification need to be
made?  If it already does, how can I go about setting it up?  If it
doesn't, where in the code should I look to make the enhancement?

 

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
