User access configuration

Hi

We run a moodle server that someone else configured 5 or 6 years ago. The server only permits users to login once they have a mailbox on our old microsoft exchange server. The exchange is being decommisioned, so I need to figure out how to change moodle's dependency on the exchange. Where would this be configured? I know everyone is different but any help would be great. We run an old version, probably 5-6 years old now. 

THanks

In your LDAP server settings on Moodle, check the box that prompts to save passwords locally.  Run an LDAP sync to make sure that all accounts are updated.  That will get the user details all stored within moodle.  Then, in the database, go through and run a command to change the authentication mode from LDAP to manual.  That should take care of it.
