This introduces a new hook allowing an auth plugin to redirect to an external login page directly without redundant redirects to the standard login page first, or where possible to authenticate the user and simply continue loading the page without any redirects. For some protocols such as SAML reducing the number of redirects to the bare minimum greatly speeds up the login process on high latency networks.
QUICK INSTALL ============= For the impatient, here is a basic outline of the installation process, which normally takes me only a few minutes: 1) Move the Moodle files into your web directory. 2) Create a single database for Moodle to store all its tables in (or choose an existing database). 3) Visit your Moodle site with a browser, you should be taken to the install.php script, which will lead you through creating a config.php file and then setting up Moodle, creating an admin account etc. 4) Set up a cron task to call the file admin/cron.php every five minutes or so. For more information, see the INSTALL DOCUMENTATION: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_Moodle Good luck and have fun! Martin Dougiamas, Lead Developer
