Hi all, As you may know [1], BibLibre is working on an interface between Koha and Coral. To achieve that, Coral uses the Koha REST API. But we are facing a problem that is becoming really blocking : the lack of a proper authentication system for the REST API.
At the moment, the only way to authenticate to the API is based on cookies. It works well for client-side javascript inside Koha, but it's not really usable by external clients. Is there someone here who use this API outside of Koha ? If so, how do you authenticate to it ? I think we really need an authentication mechanism other than cookies, so people can actually start using the API. There is bug 13920 [2] that hasn't moved since 8 months. I remember that some people disagreed with this patchset because it is crafting a custom authentication system instead of using some "standard" one (I remember OAuth was mentioned). Do you know of any "standard" auth system that we can implement, or existing Perl libraries we can use ?
