* Extended set_config()
* Implemented get_config() which takes over $CFG loading in setup.php
* admin/auth.php has special handling if post vars starting in pluginconfig_
* admin/auth.php print_auth_lock_options() prints a form fragment -- being called from most plugins now
* user/edit.php follows the new convention when locking down fields, both javascript UI and on POST.
* admin/auth: More solid checking for auth GET/POST var.
* admin/auth: print_auth_lock_options() now handles user field mapping options for LDAP and similar modules
* admin/auth: user mapping options have moved to config_plugins table
* auth/ldap module has migrated to using new field mapping vars -- simplified config.html a lot
* auth settings migration to config_plugins
The page must contain a form with an action field set to /login/index.php
and return fields username and password
TODO
It may be worth checking the URL when it's entered at admin/auth.php
to ensure it is at least pointing to a valid page as an incorrect URL
could potentially lock all users out of a site.
Started work with bug 2007
Bug 1969 is partacaly fixed. ldap-module supports now password expiration.
Some work with bugs 761 and 1730
Changes in login/index.php
Reordered some code to make variables reusable in multiple places.
Added redirection in case of expired password
Just select ldap-server type and you are done. Old variables can still be used
to override builtin settings.
TRANSLATORS NOTICE:
Some ldap-fields are now optional!
Course creators are managed by /admin/creator.php , same way that admins.
Or if authetication module have 'auth_iscreator'-function (right now only ldap-module have) ,
users are added to creators at login time.
Works currently only with ldap-module (tested with e-directory), but
other modules could be extended too by
adding following functions:
function auth_user_exists ($username) {
//returns true if given username already exists on authetication database
}
function auth_user_create ($userobject,$plainpass) {
//create new user to authentication database
//in inactive state (if posible)
//returns true if user is created
}
function auth_user_activate ($username) {
//activate external user after email-address is confirmed
//returns true if user is activated
}
