Active Directory Logins?

Hello there.

Our district is in the process of doing a large installation of moodle.  Also, they are looking at migrating to active directory in the near future.  One of my colleagues inquired with me upon moodle's integration with Active Directory login.  Is there any support for this at all?

Thanks,

Richie Foreman

Our school is Authenticating using Active Directory and it's working very well from Linux servers.

Have you had any hiccups or significant issues?  I wouldn't want to integrate out moodle install without making sure that everything is going to work AOK

We've been using Moodle + Active Directory (W2003) since Sept. 2005 without a single problem.

Good to hear that the moodle can be integrated with AD and is running successfully.Can you please let me know how to achieve this integration on a windows 2003 server.

Thanks

'ldap://myldap_IPaddress'

Did you replace the name of the server in that error message or is that the actual message you recieve? If so is your domain controller actually named "myldap_IPaddress"? It looks to me like you havent specified a correct address for the authentication plugin to connect to.

Thanks. Now I manage to do it with ldap. You are right. It is because of ldap setting I not set up properly.

Hello Richie.

I want to add: Most problems come from normal curve of learning how to use a new thing (in your case, Moodle).

I have Moodle 1.5.3+ authenticating against our corporate Active Directory.

Have a look at MoodleDocs' WEB site as indicated and let us know if you have any problems.

Good luck.

Fantastic!  Now I just have to play the waiting game.  I don't think the district is going to roll out active directory for a little while.  However, as soon as the AD server is ticking, we're going to have moodle authorize against it.
