[Koha] Re: LDAP (it just a wild guess)

[the undead]

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};
