David,
That is helpful, thank you. I was wondering if that LDAP support would have some importance to my situation. Or any of the authentication methods listed on the Available authentication plugins page.
The issue with my organization is that we use a home-grown concoction whose closest resemblance is Microsoft .NET Forms Authentication and I don't know what type of database the accounts are stored in.
I am actually curious about the "external database" section in Moodle. I am wondering if it might be that simple. Do you know about that option and if so, what are your thoughts?
Do you still think that the LDAP module could be of use? Would I need to somehow export the accounts database to a CSV file or something, then upload that into the Moodle bulk account creation area? That would be cool, but not practical because it's ever-changing. It would have to somehow be synched with the actual account system at my company and be able to verify the existence of new accounts, account deletion etc.
Thank you for taking the time to respond to me. if you could elaborate i would really appreciate it.
Thank you in advance!
