[Xerte] Authentication

[Patrick Lockley]

Oh I am sure many training companies would love it J

 

It's just we don't really need to develop it ourselves, and I'm sure a
quick google for password php system would bring something up.

That could work in some instances, but I think there are other
organisations that would like to use Xerte that would not have this
facility, I am thinking more of commercial training companies here.
Xerte seems to be geared more towards schools / Universities, and
rightly so, but it would also be of great value to small training
companies.

Do you have a moodle installation? Even if you don't as long as you
could install a copy this could be an easy solution for people to enable
alternative toolkits authentication which would include email
registration as well as account creation as that's all built in to
moodle. You wouldn't even need to use moodle as it could just be used as
the authentication method. If this were documented would it be of
interest?

Hello All,

 

Are there any alternatives to LDAP authentication?

Is it possible to have for example email registration, or just create a
database of user accounts?

If this feature does not yet exsit, where which files would I need to
edit to create it?

For example, if I wanted to write a new auth method, where would I
change the function / method call?

 

Thanks Jeremy
