Hi,
I have a moodle28 instance on my server.
I want to user external database from another server. (Server B)
I defined the mysql conenction in the external database connection settings and the connection works.
Now I want to loggin users with the username and passwords from server B,
What should I defined in order to do this?
Does moodle keep a copy of those users?
Does it has an impact on performance?
Thanks,
Raphael
Hi,
It worked,
Thanks
I have some questions please
Can I pull/register many users at once from a remote server?
For instance, I have the idnumber of some students and I want to register them to moodle according to their details in a remote server.
Can I also enroll them to a course and make groups as soon as I register the user?
Is it possible to enroll users to a course from a remote server?
Thanks!
Look at the external database enrolment plugin. As for groups, I have a plugin which is not in the plugin database yet but is available here: https://github.com/markward/local_autogroup
It allows you to set it up at the course level and automatically group students by certain fields. There are only a few fields available right now but it might achieve what you want.
Hello all, Looks like I have a problem related to this discussion. I am actually trying to retrieve data from external database which is from same server. I made changes in the ManageAuthentication -> External database correctly but it is still not showing error. I have explained my problem in this page: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=310902
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
