[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen and LDAP

[Gordana Vitez]

Hi there,
 
Lori, thanks for the search suggestion. I should have mentioned in my email that I did do the search but didn't find mention of anyone actually using it. 
 
Jason, thanks for letting me know it's a no right now.
 
Is this something other libraries might benefit from? Would this be more trouble than it's worth to develop? or would there be interest in the community to pursue LDAP for Evergreen?
 
Thanks!
Gordana

But to summarize here (since this thread is now also going to show up
in such searches:)

No, no LDAP support for Evergreen currently.

However, there are folks that import/overlay patron data on a regular
basis, including their foreign system passwords.

It's also possible for other systems to authenticate against Evergreen
(using SIP, ezproxy, etc.)
