I am trying to change multiple Moodle instances that use an EXTERNAL DATABASE for AUTHENTICATION. I want to switch the plugin type from “mssql” plugin to “mssqlnative” plugin for all of the instances. (I have a LOT of instances so I am trying to batch the job so I don't have to log onto hundreds of websites individually and making the change one at a time.)
I modified the “auth/db” plugin name “type” “in “config_plugins” table from “mssql” to “mssqlnative” (which is the apparent result to the database of changing it through the web interface.) However, that change alone does not seem sufficient.
I can’t seem to find any other files that change or database entries that change...
In order to automate this process, I’m looking to understand what else changes?
the location I'm referring to is:
