Security and privacy

Hi

LDAP is not my dept., so be warned! Then, why don't you ask in the "User authentication" forum http://moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=42 ?

> 1. Is it possible to create accounts in 2.x from the command line? Does anyone know of a working script?

Never seen one. The usual technique is through CSV files: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Upload_users. May be there are ways of combining that with http://docs.moodle.org/en/Administration_via_command_line.

What is your exact plan? To create the users in the Moodle database first and then LDAP importing them?

> 3. What is the best practice for archiving and deleting non active users?

I got that clarified once, see 'LDAP: "Removed ext user", clarification needed' http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=201783.

> what is the best/most appropriate owner, group, and permission for Moodle files?

For the security concerned: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Security_recommendations#Most_secure.2Fparanoid_file_permissions.
