Hello!

We've recently upgraded our Moodle install to 2.3.1+ and have run into a big issue with Guest logins.

Until now, certain courses were accessed using 'guest' credentials automatically by adding &username=guest&password=guest to the end of the linked URL.

With the update:

1. Feeded the login credentials through the URL does not work with no error message in sight give out. The browser simply redirects to the login page.

2. Testing the 'guest' account, we have found that it does not work. Logging in manually using 'guest'-'guest' does not work, logging in with simply 'guest' doesn't work.

I've been through most of the content I could find on the forums on this issue and have found serveral solutions that have not worked:

- Change mnetd value from 1 to 0. (Didn't help).

- Check to make sure that the MD5 value for the password is '084e0343a0486ff05530df6c705c8bb4' (it is).

- Enable the Login as Guest button. (Doesn't help).

I cannot think of much else. The only thing that caught my eye, was the fact that the authtype for the guest account was set to MANUAL. I haven't modified this because I'm working on a live site, and wanted to ask around first.

For authentication, we use LDAP and an External Database for different sets of users; but Manual Authentication is disabled. Could this be the cause of the failed guest logins?

 

Thanks for your attention!

Issue resolved:

1. Enable the 'Login as Guest' button.

2. Change mnethostid value to '0'

3. Enable autologin for guest.

4. Login once using autologin.

5. Disable autologin.

6. Change mnethostid to '1'

7. Click on Login as Guest and it works.

I am confused about the process of enrolling in  a class, and getting an account as a student

It seems I finally find a way to send send a welcome message to the students when they get a new account,

but I can't find a way to allow them register in the class by themselves, I want them to receive an email with an enrollment key. But it seems that if the student wants to enroll in the class, the enrollment key is the first thing that the system ask for. However the student does not receive an email with the enrollment key.

How should I do this. I already set the welcome message.

This is probaby due to apache and the way it resolves requests

Apache vhosts might be able to help.

If you have two domain controllers you already have failover.  Surly they are set up in a cluster or replicted somhow

to be more precise the string would be 'OU=Std,DC=icipals,DC=local;OU=Stf,DC=icipals,DC=local;'  -as long as the user accounts are directly in the OU i.e. not located in a sub OU such as Users. If this was the case the string becomes:

'OU=Users;OU=Std,DC=icipals,DC=local;OU=Users;OU=Stf,DC=icipals,DC=local;'

Hi,

That is exact string for

OU=Users;OU=Std,DC=icipals,DC=local;OU=Users;OU=Stf,DC=icipals,DC=local;

but when I try login with a domain user, I am receiving following error. Did I make mistake at the any field below?

Kind regards

 

 

LDAP-module cannot connect to any servers: Server: 'ldap://192.168.1.20/', Connection: 'Resource id #47', Bind result: ''

UPDATE

 

Hi again,

 

Please ignore the message above as I have sorted it out. I am sure ldap connection has been established now but none of users can login!

Invalid login, please try again

 

When I click Browse list of users, there is no any user except the admin account of moodle. Did I miss something?

 

Regards

I am also experiencing this bug for 2.2.4+ ... has anyone found a workaround?

http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-32572

I have no problem to run the sync_users.php script if the account is not in our moodle mdl_user table.

However, the script fails and won't add  ANY OF THE NEW ACCOUNTS during the sync process if ANY ONE of the accounts to be added is already in our mdl_user table,

The 1.9.14+ works better as it simply skips it and moves on.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Hi James,

Sorry, I am not coming up with an answer, but with a question... I am desperately trying to implement the Moodle (2.3.1) external database plugin with a Drupal (7.3) database. I am sure about my credentials to access the db (I managed to set up a crontab for /auth/db/cli/sync_users.php), but I cannot seem to authenticate the users that exist in the Drupal db.
I tried both the MD5 and SHA-1 hashes, even tried to  set latin-1 as db format (whereas it is utf-8, and in fact, it threw an error).

I ran out of ideas... Could you tell my how you set up the connection to the drupal db?

 

Many thanks

Michel

Hello,

I created a course and I use url to html files with dynamic PHP content. All url is displayed in a pop-up window. When I close this pop-up window and I want to continue, I have to re-login. I would appreciate any help here, since in IExloper 9, Firefox, and Chrome, I have the same issue.

 

Thank you very much for your help.

 

Best,

Daniel

Did you every find a solution?  I have just done the same thing - locked myself out of Moodle.  But I was testing the Self Authentication and External Database Enrollment settings.  I get a 500 Internal Error when trying to log in.
