Whether this is a bug or a feature is always debatable ![wink]( "wink")
, but right now external updates are only performed on manual changes (it's always been like that, btw).
Regarding the workaround, look for these lines in admin/tool/index.php (around line 596 in Moodle 2.4):
if($doupdate or $existinguser->password !== $oldpw){
// we want only users that were really updated
$DB->update_record('user', $existinguser);
and change them to look like these:
if($doupdate or $existinguser->password !== $oldpw){
// we want only users that were really updated
$olduser = $DB->get_record('user', array('id' => $existinguser->id));
try {
$auth->user_update($olduser, $existinguser);
} catch (Exception $e){
// Ignore the exception
}
$DB->update_record('user', $existinguser);
When you upload users and update any details of them, the new lines will force a LDAP update for each modified user. Note that I talk about modified user(s). If you don't modify any user details, the LDAP update will not be triggered.
