I think the most practical approach will be to use Koha LDAP to authenticate/replicate patrons from your SIS, if LDAP is supported.
It will be much easier to take the approach of having Koha and SIS logins be the same than having a true "single sign-on" method. I doubt your SIS has any z3950 or SIP2 capability, but these would be logical protocol to use for retrieving data from Koha. Rudimentary scripting in either language may provide you with the surface data you need, or you could take the approach of screen scraping. I would not recommend scraping if you plan to keep Koha updated though, since the codebase and interface design are fairly volatile. --Joe Atzberger On Mon, Dec 22, 2008 at 2:27 AM, kabir <khanna.ka...@gmail.com> wrote: > hello, > We developed a Student Information System on the LAMP platform( Linux > Apache MySql PHP ) and would like to integrate Koha as the library > management system into it.
