[Xerte] Authentication

[Jeremy Hopkins]

Yes, it would be better to have different options, like email
registration / account upload for Xerte stand alone, and XMLRPC for
Moodle authentication / integration.

We *could* install moodle for this purpose, but would prefer not to as
it seems a bit of overkill to do so...  We would be prepared to look at
that solution though.

 

In essence, we need to get off our backsides and solve the problem
ourselves by modifying elements of toolkits.  Being a commercial
organisation though, it is a little tricky to put aside developer time
when we have other projects running....

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
