This directory contains authentication modules.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each of these modules describes a different way to
|
||
|
|
check that a user has provided a correct
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- username, and
|
||
|
|
- password.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Even when external forms of authentication are being
|
||
|
|
used, Moodle still maintains the internal "user" table
|
||
|
|
with all the associated information about that user such
|
||
|
|
as name, email address and so on.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The active method is set by the admin on the Configuration page.
|
||
|
|

|
|
email - authentication by email (DEFAULT METHOD)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- user fills out form with email address
|
||
|
|
- email sent to user with link
|
||
|
|
- user clicks on link in email to confirm
|
||
|
|
- user account is created
|
||
|
|
- user can log in
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
none - no authentication at all .. very insecure!!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- user logs in using ANY username and password
|
||
|
|
- if the username doesn't already exist then
|
||
|
|
a new account is created
|
||
|
|
- when user tries to access a course they
|
||
|
|
are forced to set up their account details
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ldap - Uses an external LDAP server
