Description Nick Clemens (kidclamp) 2021-08-27 13:52:38 UTC
Bug 24151 added a way to pseudonymize patron transactions.

It added a new config to koha-conf <bcrypt_settings>

This is added for new installs, but not for upgraded sites, and there are no instructions on the syspref or elsewhere for adding

To recreate:
1 - Spin up a 20.05 (checkout 20.05.x and reset_all in kohadevbox)
2 - Upgrade to master (checkout master, updatedatabase)
3 - Enable pseudonymization 
4 - Attempt a checkout
5 - boom

you can manually add the settings by running the command below:
htpasswd -bnBC 10 "" password | tr -d ':\n' | sed 's/$2y/$2a/'

And pasting the results into <bcrypt_settings> in the config

Mason, is it something we could do?

Just got stung by this one. 

There are quite a few settings like this I think (e.g. plugin_repos, koha_xslt_security, smtp_server).

I'm writing a local script that fixes up a lot of the missing/bad config. It's not very elegant but I could probably share it once I'm done.

Basically, I loop through /etc/koha/sites, check each koha-conf.xml, and then re-write it. 

It does pretty well overall. The output of XML::LibXML is quite similar to /etc/koha/koha-conf-site.xml.in. The main difference is a bit of whitespace and self-closing tags in some of the Zebra-specific configuration within <yazgfs>. Zebra seems fine with empty tags and different whitespace, so I'm fairly content. Half-tempted to submit a patch to make the whitespace for /etc/koha/koha-conf-site.xml.in be more in line with the output of XML::LibXML, but I don't know what folk would think of that...

Yes please, share it.

Example script for koha-conf.xml fixup

This is a script I did that uses a reference koha-conf.xml to update some configuration, or just generates missing config (like bcrypt_settings - including comments)

I don't think it's particularly robust, so I wouldn't rely on it. I wrote it for a once-off point in time update. 

But maybe it could inspire someone to write a koha-conf.xml upgrade tool. 

That said, I don't love the idea of automatically upgrading koha-conf.xml. It seems a bit dangerous. Although if a backup mechanism is used (like in my script), then I suppose risk is less as you can always fall back.
