Apologies if I’m missing discussion of this, but in the authentication scenarios for library patrons, is the system designed to allow both centrally authenticated (CAS, shibboleth, etc.) and “local”, FOLIO-only, patron accounts? Do we have examples for what a patron login scenario would look like?
ID-managed AND “Local” Users
I don’t think it’s clearly documented at the moment, but the way things currently work with the existing shibboleth module is that it adds a “Login with SSO” button to the login screen. So a local user would provide a userid/password at that screen, and a shibboleth user would click on the SSO button and be sent to the institution’s central login.
Thanks. Can we have multiple SSO instances providing auth on a single tenant?
Hmmm – interesting. In the Codex Search we have a multiplexer model where more than one inventory or knowledgebase can be searched at one time. I wonder if the same thing could be applied to the authentication modules.
It would be best to get this written up as a feature request in the backlog so that it eventually gets to a product owner for story development. @cam2 – is that something you can do?
