Moodle in English: Disable "Use your Office 365 credentials to login to Moodle" connection option

Disable "Use your Office 365 credentials to login to Moodle" connection option

by Jon Breitenbucher - Tuesday, August 27, 2019, 11:22 PM

Hello,

We have the latest Office 365 integration setup and are running into a bit of an issue. Our users are set to use LDAP for login and some of them are using the Use your Office 365 credentials to login to Moodle option to connect to Office 365. When they do this it is changing their login method to OpenID which prevents them from using the username and password boxes to login. I believe you used to be able to disable this option in the past. I can't seem to remember which option controls the display of this option. Does anyone know?

Are you using the core OAuth2 plugin or the O365 plugin from the plugins database?

If OAuth2, go to Site admin > Server > OAuth2 services and edit the settings for the Microsoft service. There should be tick box towards the bottom of the page that allows you to enable/disable login. With the box unticked, you can still use the repositories etc but not have people logging in with their O365 accounts.

Nope. OAuth2 is disabled as an authentication option and when I go to Site admin > Server > OAuth2 there are no services listed. We are using the O365 plugin to get the O365 block to allow linking with O365. I believe this uses OpenID which is also disabled as an authentication option.

Ok, if you go to Site administration > Plugins > Local plugins > Microsoft Office 365 Integration and click on “Sync Settings” you should see one of the tick boxes is for “Switch matched users to Office 365 (OpenID Connect) authentication”.

If all else fails, you can always hide the 0365 login button with css.

Well, that option is already unchecked (never checked it because we don't want to switch their authentication). So, not sure how you are supposed to disable this option and keep it from displaying to users. It sure would be nice if you could and I believe you used to be able to as we did it on our Moodle instance last year with the previous O365 plugin. I am playing with this option on a test server and it is actually not matching and syncing the users. I had hoped to avoid the fallback of a giant Excel sheet.

My username in Moodle is jbreitenbucher and in the sync it looks like it is looking for jbreitenbucher@wooster.edu to match on in O365. If I just manually try to match to jbreitenbucher then it takes me to a personal O365 rather than giving me the option to pick personal or organizational.

We're having the same issue, the trouble is that with the 365 plugin students are able to select this option and therefore disable their ldap login. Any help on how to disable this switch would be wonderful. I've tried hiding OpenID connect but the option still works.

I have added a redirect to the end of the ucp.php page in the local/office365 plugin folder. Not a beautiful solution but it works.

Can you please help by giving more details on this redirect solution. What needs to be changes in the php file so that I can get login page to login as Manual admin ?
Now I am unable to login to Moodle with Manual admin credentials and none of the user that I can login with Office 365 have access to Site Administration in Moodle. How can I change the login method so that I can login with Manual admin credentials ?

I actually just disabled the 365 login and have everyone signing in through google. The Microsoft OAUTH is now only used for the OneDrive repository and app quick links.

Completely solved the issue.
