Evening,
We've been using Moodle for years with ldap authentication and working wonderfully,
However we'd like to be able to login with both username & email address but can't see anyway of doing it, both are mapped in ldap.
We're constantly getting can't login because they tried logging in with email address rather than sam account name
Any ideas?
Many thanks
Rob
I have been able to have them log in with their email address...is the email showing in their moodle profile? Is it possible that you have multiple accounts with the same email?
Email is showing in profile which is picked up from via LDAP.
Can be done with manual or web registrations
Assuming you have "Allow log in via email" already enabled, it should work as long as the user already exists in Moodle and she has the email address already filled in. In other words, either the user has already logged in at least once using their username (and synced her email address from LDAP), or you have run the LDAP sync task and created the user (and synced her email address).
If the user doesn't already exist in Moodle and has the email address already filled in, Moodle can't link the email address to the username and can't perform the authentication successfully (the username field is what's really needed to perform the authentication)
I just setup Moodle with OpenLDAP to test it, and as long as you fullfil the above condition, it works as expected
Saludos.
Iñaki.
