Moodle Password Expiry

Introduction
For a customer of UP learning, a special Authentication Module has been developed to handle password expiry in Moodle environments.

Installing
Place the code in the folder pwdexp in the Moodle auth folder. ($CFG->wwwroot\auth\pwdexp) (not dataroot!)

Configuration
After installation the authentication module has to be enabled and configured.
Users - Authentication - Manage Authentication will now list the added module as: 'Password Expiration check'

Choose enable to activate the plugin.
Remark: Before the plugin is fully active, its settings need to be saved once.
The module will apply to all logged in users, regardless of the authentication plugin order.

On the 'Settings' page there are two configurable options:
1. The amount of days for password expiration
2. The URL to redirect to when the password has expired (ie Moodle Password change page)

Remark: After the activation of the plugin there might not be a password change history for all users.
For this reason the plugin will enforce a password change for every user logging in after activating the plugin directly, and not after the first interval.

    Thanks for sharing this here smile

    some review notes:
    - you might want to rename your github repository to stick with naming
    conventions 'moodle-{component}_{pluginname}'
    - You may want to include moodle 2.6 as supported too.
    - if you have any documentation or relevant website feel free to add those urls too smile

    David - Due to the recent crash, you likely need to re-update the information you mentioned above as being corrected. I suspect the changes you made were lost. Thanks for your patience and help as we work to reconstruct the lost data. Please do not hesitate to let me know if there is anything I can do to be supportive of your efforts. Peace - Anthony

    Hi Anthony, I already reupped to latest version and corrected the info, right after Moodle.org was no longer read-only.

    David - In the description above, for install location - shouldn't that be $CFG->wwwroot\auth\pwdexp instead of dataroot? Have you had a chance to test this on Moodle 2.6? Some documentation to describe how to use it would be helpful as well. If you have any questions just let me know. Peace - Anthony

    Hi Anthony, that should be indeed $CFG->wwwroot, the dataroot is an old Moodle 1.9 reference. Will update the documentation sometime this week. The plugin also correctly works with Moodle 2.6

    As this is now shamelessly copied into Moodle core it will no longer be updated.
    Moodle 2.7 has this functionality builtin, so for 2.7 you don't need this plugin.

    Any idea where I can find this functionality in Moodle 2.7? I found it for Manual accounts but the same functionality does not exist for Email-based self-registration accounts which is what I need.

    Feel free to update it if you need it, I'm leaving the Moodle community and will not work on any of this.
