As a result of fixing the auth plugins config storage in MDL-12689, many
settings would be falsely reported as new ones by
admin/upgradesettings.php. We do not want to confuse admins so we try to
reduce the bewilderment by pre-populating the config_plugins table with
default values. This should be done only for disabled auth methods. The
enabled methods have their settings already stored, so reporting actual
new settings for them is valid.
It has never been guaranteed that settings.php would always be included
from inside the core\plugininfo\auth::load_settings() scope only.
Alternative fix would be to use $plugininfo->name but I think it is
better to be explicit here (same as we are explicit with setting names,
strings etc).
Some auth plugins used to have a mix of the legacy style of plugin names
in config_plugins table (such as 'auth/mnet') and the new correct
style (such as 'auth_mnet'). Attempting to rename the setting plugin via
low level SQL UPDATE could lead to duplicate key violation.
The patch introduces a new helper function to safely migrate the old
settings to the new ones, eventually informing the admin about the
values mismatch.
There is at least one LDAP server (Sun Directory Server) that doesn't
support Paged Results extension, even if it supports LDAP version 3. So
checking just for LDAP version is not enough.
If possible, we check the supportedControl attribute of the LDAP rootDSE
and see if the paged results control is available. This needs an LDAP
connection, which might not be possible to establish before we configure
some essential LDAP settings (server, bind user, password, etc.). Thus
we try to establish the connection and check the supportedControl
attribute. But if we fail, we perform only basic checks that are less
accurate and err on the side of cautiousness.
dirname() is a slow function compared with __DIR__ and using
'/../'. Moodle has a large number of legacy files that are included
each time a page loads and is not able to use an autoloader as it is
functional code. This allows those required includes to perform as
best as possible in this situation.
This just deletes all the upgrade steps previous to 2.7.0. Some
small adjustments, like adding missing MOODLE_INTERNAL or tweaking
globals can also be applied when needed.
Next commit will get rid of/deprecate all the upgradelib functions
not used anymore in codebase.
Sheduled tasks for syncing users with external sources for auth_ldap
and auth_cas. Using task is simplier than setting separate cron
job for running cli script. Task are disabled by default.
