Using LDAP authentication, Want single sign on.

Using LDAP authentication, Want single sign on.

We are using Moodle 1.8.2 currently. We are using LDAP authentication connected to a Microsoft Active Directory. I would like to setup a cookie so that our students and faculty will not need to log in one authenticated on the network.  Also we are using a Microsoft Share Point Server portal and Moodle is a link on that portal. It would be nice for the students to be able to authenticate on the portal and not have to again when they go to the Moodle link.

Has anyone done this yet? Is there any Documentation on how to accomplish this.

Thanks

Van

If your campus authenticates users against a Windows AD domain, most probably the answer to your question is NTLM.

Using NTLM, browser like IE (and even FF enabling some settings) are able to send to the web server (such as a NTLM enabled Apache or IIS) the user's credentials, that in turn can be used to authenticate in Moodle.

This way authenticated Windows Domain users who navigates to Moodle will SSO on it. Moodle docs contains some useful hints about this topic.

We have implemented Moodle1.8 on apache and MySQL.  We wish to enable single-sign on NTLM authentication such that Users who have signed on from our intranet will be automatically authenticated on Moodle using their windows sign-on credentials.

We also have a vpn to which users are authenticated using their windows sign-on and password. These users also should be able to access Moodle portal without the need to sign-on to moodle separately.

Can anyone pls. give me the steps required to implement single-sign on in Moodle? First of all is it possible?

Thanks.

George

Hello!

Did you succeeded in calling Moodle from Sharepoint, in a SSO mode ?

Our situation is like yours: we want to add a link in our SharePoint portal so students and faculty can link to moodle, from SharePoint, without having to reenter their credentials.

Thanks for the feedback, if you have any!
