I saw that the mobile app was released today and I am very excited about it's possibilities. However, I'm wondering if anyone has thought about how this app might authenticate to sites using other methods of authentication? We are using CAS SSO and we have many Moodle instances that would benefit from having the mobile app.
Does anyone have any ideas on how this might work?
We are in the same boat.
I just downloaded it and it has a ways to go yet. I can't log in with CAS or Moodle credentials. I wonder if it isn't compatible with Moodle 2.x yet or if it only currently supports HTTPS (which our site does not require/use). I'll have to do some more research, but thought I'd post this...
Thanks, Mark. We do not use SSL on our site either. We don't want or need the overhead of SSL. We use CAS which uses SSL, so it meets our security needs fine.
I guess I would like to see the Moodle app pop some sort of window that redirects to our CAS page to authenticate then drops them back into the app. This should work as the app uses standard Moodle web services behind the app. I hope someone comments on the issue and can direct us.
We don't support CAS SSO yet, feel free to create a feature request on http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MOBILE, we will discuss it in dev meeting.
Yes, support for CAS would be very usefull.
