We're a small college library in the process of migrating to Koha from an old Winnebago Spectrum system. The plan is that students should be able to use their Active Directory credentials when access Koha. I have the connection working, but there are some things I'm not clear on.
For many students, their first and only account interaction with Koha will be when they bring an item to the circulation desk. At this point, if the attendant scans their card and they have never logged in, my understanding is that Koha will have no idea who they are and will reject the transaction, because it doesn't create the account until someone tries to authenticate. Is there any way to have Koha pro-actively pull this information? I'd rather avoid the extra step of batching users into Koha each term. Also, for anyone else using Active Directory, are you storing the Card Number in Active Directory? If so, what field are you using?
