I just updated a new version that checks for php_http being installed on the system. It also updates the way it gets federation metadata from Azure Active Directory

Hello Girish, how are you? Thanks for your contribution.
I was wondering if this authentication only works if you have your moodle hosted in Azure, or if it's working for any moodle installation.
Thanks!
Regards,
Alex

This will work for any supported Moodle installation
Thx

Hi Girish,

I am new to moodle and also windows azure.We need a feature for single sign on with office 365. When I searched I got this plugin. I got your ModuleSSO document. But I am getting stuck. The problem is in windows azure interface I am not able to get the integrated apps menu or the enable single signon or when we create the app the option of single sign on, read directory data.

Any help would be great.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Girish,

I am interested in using your plugin on our site. Before I install it I was wondering if login against Azure AD is only available within the AzureAD block? We force users to login before they can see the frontpage so can this authentication method be used on the login page?

Regards,
Anthony

Anthony thanks for the mail. The code is written such that without modifications the sign-in into AzureAD is only initiated from the block code. However the AzureAD plugin does not require the block code. What you could do is grab the code that generates the loginURL as well as the settings from the block code and integrate that into your frontpage to have an integrated login experience

Thx
Girish

I got this installed on moodle 2.5.3+ and I can login through the link on the block; however, it does not sync any user data. The usernames that get created look like the user's object id. There's no firstname, lastname, or even email address. Is it suppose to sync these things and I'm just missing something? I could not find mapping settings like there are for the ldap plugin.

I also want to note that pecl_http version 1.7.6 is required. The latest version available won't work because they have dropped functions, which causes fatal errors. So even with the php_http check it will fail at http_get unless you have the older version. I would recommend the plugin be updated to use curl instead.

If anyone else has trouble with getting user data to sync, the root of my problem was permissions in AD Azure. You must provide the application with access to "Read Directory Data" I set it on both Application Permissions and Delegated Permissions before it started working.

Girish Bablani how do you copy the block code? Do you need access to the PHP file? I have this plugin installed on 2.6 and it shows up on my homepage as a block but it says you are logged in with a non ausure account click here (sends you to the login page, where the azure block is not available.) Your post says you can copy the code, but I'm not sure where to get it from, what to copy. Also I was trying to figure out how to not use a login page and just authenticate on the front page where the block is, but I can't find where to disable the login page?

Hi again. Ok so I'm really close I got the login URL and it seems to authentic and then it sends you to the Moodle profile page and you get stuck there. You can't fill out a profile and move on to see courses. Also I don't want it to get the user to create and account upon login. We want Moodle to get the data from Azure and create accounts in Moodle before users login for the first time. Is that possible with this plugin?

Also I'm doing this on a testing server where we don't have SSL cert applied. It does throw an HTTPS error in between when transferring you over to Moodle after authenticating. Just wondering if this could be hindering the communication process between systems?

Hi so as for my above comment it was a firewall issue that was stopping the first name last name to come through.

Now only some accounts are coming through. (I'm on Moodle 2.6) Some staff accounts, some contacts in Azure and no student accounts unless they had a personal microsft account before hand and have an email address of firstname.lastname@oldscollegeca.onmicrosoft.com. but the student accounts like firstname.lastname@oldscollege.ca won't pull in for some reason. Anyone else have these problems of some accounts coming in and other not?

I am using Moodle 3.2.1 version, whether its is compatible with Azure AD plugin version 2.5?
Also SSO not working here.

Does this allow SSO auth using Azure or is it just manual login?
