As above... if all Moodles involved are in a pure Microsoft environment (IIS, MSSQL etc.) will networking work or not?

If there are restrictions or requirements that anyone is aware of info would be much appreciated.

It is designed to work on IIS too, and ISTR someone testing it on IIS in the early days.

So, modulo bugs and IIS weirdness, It Works (tm).

Of course, I have only seen IIS very briefly around 3 years ago now, after having abandoned IIS v1/v2 in... 1998? Must be about to change voice and do all the stupid things puberty brings. Doubt I'd recognise it...

Thanks Martín,

I normally try to avoid IIS but sometimes it catches up with me wink

Hi Howard,

main issue is with openssl on windows - it can't always find the openssl.cnf file. I've added a fix to Moodle that gets around this - see:
http://docs.moodle.org/en/Moodle_Network_FAQ#Moodle_doesn.27t_generate_any_keys_on_the_networking_pages

I've written a patch for Mahara for this as well, but haven't had a chance to clean it up and commit quite yet!

hope that helps!

Cheers Dan...

I'll bear that in mind (when it inevitably doesn't work) big grin
