Hello,
we are using Moodle with a external database to authenticate users. We want now for our production server change the password hashing method and also the password column name in external database settings.
The two fields are:
- auth_db | fieldpass
- auth_db | passtype
The URL to the settings page is: /admin/settings.php?section=authsettingdb
But I'm not able to change any settings on this side! After i made changes and click submit the old values are still there. I'm not getting any error nor is something logged in log files.
I took a look into the config.php if there are some hardcoded values but nothing auth_db related is set there.
The database server is a ms sql server and i also tried to change the settings there via sql script, but the frontend shows still the old values. (database server is the right one )
Restarting webserver, database or deactivating the plugin didn't helped.
Does have anyone a idea why I'm not able to change the settings?
Greetings
