Think ionCube... think ££ :-)

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
