[Koha] Koha as an identity provider

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi,

I think others have already done a great job in explaining why the
password/userid file approach won't work like that. But there is the
ILS-DI and the REST API that can be used to implement authentication
with external services if none of the other suggestions is an option.

Hope this helps,

Katrin
