Dear list, I managed to setup Moodle 1.8.2, now I try to use our Skolelinux user base (in LDAP/on tjener) for Moodle as well. Moodle offers several modes here, I installed and tested these: - ldap - pam - imap
With ldap, I might have missed some parameters, anyway known users cannot connect. Imap doesn't offer many settings, but doesn't work either. PAM, however works like this: Known users can connect and need to fill in compulsary fields, esp. sur/name. Now I wonder if I cannot make PAM to pre-fill these fields (given name), because this is what Moodle displays as user name (it seems to be its philosophy to hide away login names, so only admins will know who is _really_ behind user "Jimi Hendrix".) Also, the use of roles and classes would make things perfect. Any hints for this? If I'd manage to use the LDAP module, it should be quite easy to extract the needed fields. This is more or less what I need to know: http://docs.moodle.org/en/LDAP_authentication Thanks for now, regards Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
