So we are quite interested in how others have approached this.
Recently I setup something similar for a client. It required me to write an external squid authentication helper that read the user creds and perms (patron category, expiry, debarment etc) off the borrowers table. I added a couple of extra fields to support the proxy auth functions, and a separate table to log login/sessions. A custom .kpz plugin helped helped to manage the users and generate reports as required. Served over SSL, it seems to be able to serve their purpose. cheers -indranil > > On Tue, Aug 18, 2015 at 5:05 PM, Craig Butosi <craig.but...@rcmusic.ca> > wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> Running Koha 3.20.02 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with Apache 2.4.7. >> >> I had a question about the authentication of electronic resource links in >> Koha.
