Hi Dan

So, you haven't given up! 
wink

I was waiting for the IdP for an answer. Maybe they don't have an answer. So the final part remains unsolved.

The current state is:

  • The existing users can switch between manual and federation authentication transparently - what they have (had) as Moode username is irrelevant ('course have to provide when logging in manually).
  • New users coming from the Federation get their Moodle username set to the e-mail address. They can't fall back to manual log in unless I reset their auth method to Manual. Then they can switch back-and-forth but remember that when logging in manually the username is the e-mail address. Unfortunately on the Federation log in screen the username is without the domain. If I really want, I can delete the domain part in the Moodle username too. That is an unwanted, error-prone personal interaction and also not scalable.

Can live with that, can't do something as SP what my IdP does not offer! Therefore, PUT TO REST.

Hi both

Coming from moderators present and past, I believe you. But you must understand:

once burnt, twice shy
twice burnt, then what, seeing ghosts?
 
@Gareth, when I think of it, I take a post in to the clip-board. And thought of it because the browser was behaving like swimming in tar. I was editing another post, in a second browser tab. Since I thought I saw this one accepted, released the clip-board to store the other post. In fact, I mailed the text to myself. As Murphy wants is the longer post, which needed some search on moodle.org, it never materialized.
 
Anyway, there were too many things. Good lesson. So one thing after the other. One point was to re-iterate that we are talking of three things, and pointed to (hopefully) the main topic and the two sub-threads:
- We are in the "main" branch, the one Dominique has started, about the "normal" (user) community. 
 
NEW: Eric's post is also about the user community, great points, BTW.
 
- First sub-topic is the developer community, I think Tom has started it here.
 
- Second sub-topic Moodle Partners on moodle.org or something like that. I think Petr has brought that here.
 
I know, I know, this is the Lounge. Still my wires sent pulses in all directions and come to a stand still when topics multiply.

Notice that "normal people" is a distinction, a positive one - there are so many abnormal creatures circling us!

Yeah, yeah, we feel great being politically correct. But that is a luxury. That is why we need some interjection not to tone hollow, wherever we don't have that luxury. Example: "All human are equal - just differently dispositioned (invent your filler)."
