I want to check if NTLM SSO under Site administration / Plugins / Authentication / LDAP server is enabled and then redirect the user appropriately. Is this a workable way to do it?
$authplugin = get_auth_plugin('ldap');
if (empty($authplugin->config->ntlmsso_enabled)) {
redirect($CFG->wwwroot . '/login/index.php');
} else {
redirect($CFG->wwwroot . '/auth/ldap/ntlmsso_attempt.php');
}
Thanks.
Thanks Iñaki
I mainly wanted to confirm if using $authplugin->config->ntlmsso_enabled is the right way to do it. The actual re-directs aren't causing any problems.
A bit of an explanation: I have a custom admin report under \admin\report\test_report which currently assumes that NTML SSO will always be enabled on the site and so it always tries to do the SSO via wwwroot . '/auth/ldap/ntlmsso_attempt.php' - even when NTLM SSO is disabled. Making the assumption that NTLM SSO was not very cmart - it causes an SSO error when SSO is disabled:
[19-Apr-2012 12:16:22] Default exception handler: NTLM SSO is disabled. Debug:
* line 429 of \lib\setuplib.php: moodle_exception thrown
* line 21 of \auth\ldap\ntlmsso_attempt.php: call to print_error()
A better approach was for me to put in that ntlmsso_enabled check and re-direct the user to the Moodle login page ($CFG->wwwroot . '/login/index.php') if NTLM SSO is disabled on the site. That seems to solve the problem.
Thanks for your help.
FYI, your reply to http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=112970 is a similar concept. Nice work! Thanks.
