[VuFind-General] using authentication method ILS without storing user data in MySQL database?

[Ursula K. <urs...@tu...>]

Hello!

We have VuFind 2.4.1 installed and use:
[Authentication]
method = ILS
and
[Catalog]
driver = "PAIA"

Because of a privacy policy we need to prevent VuFind from storing the user
data (username, firstname, lastname, email, cat_username,
cat_password/cat_pass_enc) in the VuFind MySQL database.

I tried editing the processILSUser function in Auth/ILS.php and the
saveCredentials function in Db/Row/User.php in order to at least let VuFind
create empty entries in the table user. But if the fields user.cat_username
and user.cat_password are empty in the MySQL database the login doesn't work
anymore and VuFind displays the cataloglogin.phtml template instead to let
the user create a new account. Beside of this: the field user.username is
still filled even if I let processILSUser and saveCredentials functions
return empty results for the fields specified in these functions ...

Where/How could I edit the VuFind code to let VuFind write no data into the
MySQL table "user" when logging in through the ILS authentication method if
I – on the other hand – still need the authentication method to function?

I am thankful for all help.

Best regards,

Ursula
