Hello all
we have very old Moodle version. It is 1.9. Now, we plan to have a new version on Linux server and have it integrated to AD. I have read several articles about Moodle and ADFS.
Could anyone show me exactly how to do it?
Thanks,

Go through the documentation - then come back if you have issues. There is specific documentation that references how to set up LDAP with AD.
You use AD and ADFS interchangeably when they're quite different concepts.
AD authentication is achieved with LDAP. The usual Moodle login form is presented and uses a LDAP lookup to the domain to authenticate the user.
ADFS is an identity provider for federated single sign-on that uses SAML to communicate with service providers (e.g. Moodle). Do you specifically use ADFS in your current environment?
I'd suggest using the Catalyst SAML plugin if you intend to use it on later versions of Moodle. Provided you have SAML experience it's straightforward.
I have read many articles but I am still so confused. I currently use ADFS for Office 365. We now have Moodle 1.9. However, their users are not Active Directory users. So, my boss asked me to setup a new Moodle server integrated Active Directory on Linux server .
