[Koha] Koha, Shibboleth and autocreation of users

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Michael,

I looked up the old bugs for the feature, the keyword to look for is
'provisioning':

*Bug 12026*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=12026> -
Shibboleth auto-provisioning - Create
*Bug 18507*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=18507> -
Shibboleth auto-provisioning - Sync

One current limitation appears to be the mapping of extended patron
attributes:

*Bug 22459*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=22459> -
Shibboleth create/sync: Allow mapping of extended patron attributes

Hope this helps,

Katrin
