When using CAS (SSO) Authentication (and _no_ LDAP), by default the username is retrieved.
So when a user authenticates using CAS for the first time, Moodle creates a new user with this username, and prompts them to complete their Moodle profile.
The Moodle documentation is not specific, but I interpreted that additional user attributes such as email address, first/last names, etc., could be sent in the authentication process, so that the user profile is retrieved by CAS, and the user would not need to complete the information manually.
So can Moodle retrieve the user profile attributes using CAS, or is manual entry or LDAP required?
Using: Moodle 3.1 with CAS Server (SSO) authentication.
Thanks, Richard.
