moodle-enrol_openlml

enrolment plugin for moodle from 2.x to autoenrol in conjunction with the open linux Musterlösungplugin enrol_openlml.

This module superseedes the module enrol_lml(Moodle 1.x). It is supposed to work with the

Linux Musterlösung(paedML) Ba-Wü Germany

and with the

Open Linux Musterlösung(openLML) http://www.linuxmuster.net

servers.

It is crafted for their LDAP structure.

It needs the auth_ldap module working to get the users authenticated through LDAP and enrols those users to courses depending on the field $course->idnumber.

Dependencies

This module needs the Auth-Plugin auth_ldap and the enrolment plugin enrol_cohort to be active to work properly.

Cron-Job

This module is processed by cron on an hourly basis, as is enrol_cohort equally.

The module auth_ldap is not automatically processed by cron. You can either set up a job yourself as described in

/auth/ldap/cli/sync_user.php

or you include auth_ldap in the hourly job. For this to work you must use the patch for auth_ldap:

cd /auth/ldap

patch <../../enrol/openlml/auth_ldap.patch

The patch adds a cron() method to the auth_ldap plugin that is executed once an hour.
