Moodle Mobile App for Moodle Release 2.5.4 (Build: 20140113)

Hi there,

We currently have Moodle Release 2.5.4 in which we are aiming to integrate the Moodle Mobile App.

We have the mobile app downloaded onto a IOS device however when logging in, the message below appears:

Access Control Exception.

We have worked our way through the following suggestions:

What is the 'Access control exception' error

It means that one of this admin setting has failed:

  • authorised user: ip restriction fails to authenticate the user (Administration > Plugins > Web services > Manage services > Authorized users > click on user full name)
  • authorised user: valid date is expired (Administration > Plugins > Web services > Manage services > Authorized users > click on user full name)
  • admin created the token: ip restriction fails to authenticate the user (Administration > Plugins > Web services > Manage tokens > check the status)
  • admin created the token: valid date is expired (Administration > Plugins > Web services > Manage tokens > check the status)
  • the user is not listed in the authorized list (Administration > Plugins > Web services > Manage services > Authorized users)
  • the user hasn't the required capability (Administration > Plugins > Web services > Manage services > Edit service)
  • site in maintenance mode
  • user is suspended
  • user is not confirmed
  • user is deleted
  • the user authentication is set to nologin (edit the user profile)
  • password expired (most likely happens with external authentication like LDAP)
  • web service disabled (Administration > Advanced features)
  • user doesn't have the capability to use the used web service protocol (user should have the capability 'webservice/use:xmlrpc'/'webservice/use:rest'/..., on SYSTEM context).
  • the user token doesn't exist
  • the web service function is not included in the service

Since Moodle 2.2, if the administrator turns Moodle debug mode >= NORMAL, then an explicit error message will be returned.

Can anyone guide?

Hi,

the Moodle app only supports Moodle 3.1 or higher. That isn't related to the 'Access control exception' error you're facing, that's a different issue, but you won't be able to access that site using the app even if you fix the error.

We used to support sites from Moodle 2.4, but we increased it to 3.1 a couple of years ago because it was a pain for us to maintain those old versions.

Cheers,
Dani
