Authentication

Hi there,

I'm setting Moodle up to authenticate through LDAP. All is working fine, except when I click the Change Password button. I've set it to take me to an external URL (for the application that manages the LDAP data). This URL is of the form:

http://1.1.1.1:50000/very/long/url/with/lots/of.folders?submitHelpPage=Submit&helpActionPage=PASSWORD_RESET

I can see the URL in the source code of the form, but when I click on the change password button the URL that appears in the address bar of the browser is truncated at (and including) the question mark.

It appears this might be a known problem with the GET action (cf. http://www.codingforums.com/archive/index.php?t-76978.html)

Is there anything I can do about this? One thing I thought of is to set up a folder within Moodle that contains a redirect to the real URL - but that seems very clumsy.

Cheers,

Mark
