When you visit your toolkits install address e.g.
http://yourinstall/toolkits do you have to login?

If not it sounds like toolkits has been installed without ldap
authentication. If this is the case you need to get the IT Team to read the
install guide and follow the instructions for using ldap.

No Moodle 1.9.2,  and yes more than one person can access the area where the
learning objects are created/stored. A colleague is working on one that I
created and set off for her and without sharing it she can access and edit
it? Am I doing something wrong? The techie bits I will have to pass onto to
our IT Support staff as I don't have access to the network/servers. We don't
have guest log in just our network login?
Thanks

Something like that sounds likely - just trying to work out where the
authentication is (also - moodle 2?)
