The following options are available at the moment:<br><br>1. ldap (the default). You could try to install an ldap server and add users to ldap. It is not for the faint hearted. An example of a ldap server is the Active Directory Service of Windows servers. There are several open source solutions as well<br>2. moodle. With the moodle patch you can use the moodle user management and moodle user database withing Xerte Toolkits. But..., you have to have moodle installed on the same server for this to work.<br>3. Simple authentication using fixed users in a .php file. There are two files present in the installation directory. demo.txt (doesn't require authentication) and switch.txt (contains 4 fixed users). If you want to use those, you copy them over the existing index.php. If using switch.txt, you have to change the users and passwords in that file.<br><br>Hope this clarifies things for you.<br><br>Tom<br><br>Op 1-11-2011 1:14, Robert Chalmers schreef: <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I set up a brand new xertetoolkit install, made usre I could at least login (there are other problems) then installed the moodle auth patch. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>All it gives is a blank screen.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Much hand wringing….<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Robert<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p>This message and any attachment are intended solely for the addressee and may contain confidential information.
