Log in to Moodle using one time user key.

Auth plugin for organising simple one way SSO(single sign on) between moodle and your external web application. The main idea is to make a web call to moodle and provide one of the possible matching fields to find required user and generate one time login URL. A user can be redirected to this URL to be log in to Moodle without typing username and password.

The plugin supports user provisioning.

    Hi Marini,
    In the current implementation it's not possible to pass the field city or a custom field. But feel free to submit a feature request in github https://github.com/catalyst/moodle-auth_userkey/issues

    We are using auth_userkey on Moodle 3.5.2+. However, our users are promted to forced change of password.
    I saw some previous comments with the same issue, but no solution.
    Is this a known issue and is there a solution for it?

    Thanks!

    The log out system is only executed by entering the logout url of the userkey. Is there no way to logout how to login userkey?

    Hi Juan! Not sure if I understand your question. There is a logout functionality described in README https://github.com/catalyst/moodle-auth_userkey/blob/MOODLE_33PLUS/README.md Basically you can use "Redirect after logout from Moodle" setting to logout users from your App when they logged out from Moodle. From the pother end, you can use logout URL functionality to logout users from Moodle when they log out from your APP. So you redirect them to url like http://yourmoodle.com/auth/userkey/logout.php?return=www.your_app_page_after_logout.com Hope that makes sense.

    Yes, I understand that functionality. But it can only be used by entering the url exposed by the plugin and redirecting it to where the return parameter is.

    Is there a way that I can log out from a use of the service, without having to send the person to moodle in the browser?

    hey Juan, Please raise an issue in github https://github.com/catalyst/moodle-auth_userkey and try to explain your case in more details.
