Thanks for your help and support . 


1- If there is any risk related to security to set up an external address for our Active directory and integrate it with Moodle because our network team are afraid of this point . 

2- Importing users data from our ERB or Active directory then upload it into moodle and repeat this process every week or month is best choice to avoid setup external address for our Active directory or not ?

Thanks

Well there is always some risk.  You can set your moodle site to use https which will then encrypt passwords.  Your network guys should be aware of all of this.

Using https and ldaps will give you the best security.  The security experts here might have other suggestions for you.

What needed are competent system and network administrators on either side. For example, the network administrator of your institution can open the firewall based on the IP address of the Moodle server. Or, even tighter, only to those particular (network) ports required. The Moodle system adminstrator can verify through an independent tool, like ldapsearch.
