disable login to Koha, via the $database account
Comment 2 Katrin Fischer 2012-08-26 06:56:47 UTC
I think this is not so easy, because you also need a branch and a categorytype to create a patron in the borrowers table and those are different from library to library.
Comment 3 Magnus Enger 2012-10-02 12:54:13 UTC
What should the status be here? Needs signoff or Failed QA?
Comment 4 Katrin Fischer 2012-10-26 01:07:14 UTC
Existing patch is not enough, we need more to avoid using the database user. Switching back to ASSIGNED for now.
Comment 5 Paul Poulain 2012-11-02 12:26:16 UTC
I think the bug 9008 that make the mysql login very proeminent fixes this problem. Reopen if you disagree.
