OBF Admin, 
Antti Koskinen, Open Badge Factory - plugin
Open Badge Factory is a cloud platform that provides the tools your organization needs to implement a meaningful and sustainable Open Badges system.
Description
With the local_obf plugin you can handle your Open Badges created in Open Badge Factory in single or multiple Moodle site.
It enables users to:
- Issue badges to students
- Create badge awarding rules: based on course completion, based on activity completion, or on profile completion.
- Get badge awarding history
- Display earned badges on profile and connect the Open Badge Passport backpack
Installing the plugin
This plugin requires an authentication key provided by Open Badge Factory (Premium or Pro account needed).
Please note that you can only generate Oauth2 API keys with a Pro account. We recommend using OAuth2 keys when possible as legacy API keys can be used with Premium but Open Badge Factory will not provide any support.
NEW! Pro customers can set specific badge permissions on Moodle categories (link OBF categories with Moodle categories).
Multitenancy
- You can connect one OBF account to multiple Moodle sites.
- You can connect multiple OBF accounts to your Moodle site using OAuth2 API keys.

How can we solve this error please. I am using xampp as localhost
Also, is there (technical) documentation about the plugin available somewhere ? We changed some of the permissions that the plugin adds to Moodle, in order to show/hide some of the links related to OBF in the course settings for specific roles, but we had to test the permissions and guess what they were doing.
I hit another problem in the meantime. While the Factory part of the plugin seems to work fine (we see our OBF badges in Moodle, and we can award them in our courses depending on completion settings), the Passport part of the plugin, available in every user's Preferences page, doesn't want to connect to OBP. We tested the plugin on a dummy Moodle which was hosted on an external provider's server, and it worked. But on our self-hosted Moodle at the university, each time we try to connect a user's profile to their Passport account, we receive an email giving us a token which we have to enter on Moodle to verify the address, and when we enter it, Moodle responds "Error writing to the database". I can't find why it doesn't work on this installation of Moodle, but works on another one. Do you have any ideas ?
Thanks
Cédric
