My team has been tasked with merging a smaller, independent Moodle installation into a larger Moodle instance. The two sites have run for several years. To make our lives easier, we are attempting to migrate the smaller site (fewer courses and a lot fewer users) into the larger site. Both sites are currently running Moodle 2.7.9+.
We actually have most of the migration working fine, but one of the requests is giving us fits. As part of the migration they don't want to force anyone to change their passwords, so we are trying to migrate those as well, but having trouble.
The accounts and courses all get transferred successfully, but the transferred users have to reset their password in order to login. We don't mind transferring the users directly in the database (in fact that has worked best so far), but there must be something that we're missing.
Thoughts or ideas?
