Ah, thanks. I was testing with Update turned on.
I've still got some reading to do. Are the differences between what
happens with Update and Replication in the documentation? That is
something I wanted to test.

Tom,
What version are you on? From the code, the password hash should only
be stored if the patron is returning (that is they already have an
account in Koha), and you have Update turned on. Alternatively, if
you've got a new patron signing in for the first time, and Replicate
is on, and you've got the password in the <mapping>, then it would
also be hashed and stored. These should be the only circumstances.

Tom,
As I understand it:
The Koha LDAP authentication mechanism copies user information
from the LDAP tree to the local SQL database on the Koha server in
order to create "user" accounts.
I believe one of the minimum requirements to create a Koha "user"
account is a password.
Because of Koha's requirements for creating users, I don't think
you will be able to populate the necessary fields to allow for
users logins, without populating a password field.
Last time I dealt with them, passwords were hashed with MD5, and
no clear text password were saved on the Koha system.

We now have LDAP working to authenticate on logins. But we have also
noticed that Koha stores that same password locally. Is there a
configurable switch that I have not yet found which will keep LDAP
connected logins from local storage?
Thanks,
Tom
