I have a scenario with a multi-domain forest with some users in it via Active Directory.
From my reading here, using the GC port and forest address in the LDAP configuration should provide read access to the entire forest, so that takes care of my first possible issue.
We also have a MySQL database with ALL users, including those contained in AD. This database does not contain passwords for our AD users, but does have passwords for users that are not in AD.
We need to have authentication for all users in Moodle. So my question is this:
If I setup LDAP as the first authentication method (below internal for my moodle admin accounts), then the external SQL database below that, will Moodle "fail through" the LDAP plugin if it does not find any users matching the passed username and then check via the second database?
Thanks for any help you can offer. This entire Moodle community forum is outstanding for support!
