If you need to assign Parent or Mentor role, this plugin will help you. It reads data from LDAP and then assign the specified role based on the information in LDAP.
In LDAP, you need to have an entry for the Parent/Mentor which contain an attribute (which can have multiple values) with the list of children/mentee.

For issue tracking, I think we can use Moodle Tracker and the CONTRIB related to this plugin: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/CONTRIB-3938
As for the documentation, not sure where is the best place. I'll have a look at that.
Thanks for your help
Specific message regarding build versions was: 2011070102.06, you need 2012061700
Any way of getting a version to work bakc-level without having to upgrade my environment ? Many thanks !
The reason why you get that message is because I don't know if the plugin is compatible with Moodle 2.1, so it requires Moodle 2.2.
If you can test the plugin in development, modify the file moodle/enrol/ldapuserrel/version.php and change the line
$plugin->requires = 2012061700;
for
$plugin->requires = 2011070102.06;
This will tell Moodle that the plugin is compatible with you version of Moodle.
I'm confident that it'll work well because there are no major differences between 2.1 and 2.2
Please let me know if it works well.
I was translating the ldapuserrel plugin and I found what seems to be a typo in the English language strings:
2.3 [localobjectuserfield_desc,enrol_ldapuserrel]
"Name of the field in Moodle user table that is used to identified the mentee"
"identified " should be "identify" (I think, but I am not a native English speaker).
Thanks in advance for your help.
You are right, it's a mistake. I'll fix that!
In which language are you translating the plugin? I could include your translation in the package. If it's good for you, just place you language directory somewhere that I can retrieve it and I'll include it.
Also, have you experience any problem with the plugin?
