[Koha] LDAP Attributes

[Roche III, Edward]

Good Afternoon All

 

I am playing with the idea of using LDAP for user authentication and to
use this feature to populate the Koha patron db. I know the patron db
will not be populated automatically only when a user logs in. So my
issue/question is that I can match up the usual LDAP fields with the
corresponding ones in KOha like , first name and last name. I can even
find one to use for Branch but I am having trouble finding one for
patron type. I do see in the instructions for ldap (
http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=en:development:ldap) that there is a
"categorycode" field, is this the field for patron type or is there
another? If it is the field, does anyone know a field in LDAP/AD to use
to hold this information?

 

Thanks

Ed
