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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using
|
|
-----
|
|
1. Install the plugin as usual.
|
|
2. Enable and configure just installed plugin. Set required Mapping field, User key life time, IP restriction and Logout redirect URL.
|
|
3. Enable web service advance feature (Admin > Advanced features), more info http://docs.moodle.org/en/Web_services
|
|
4. Enable one of the supported protocols (Admin > Plugins > Web services > Manage protocols)
|
|
5. Create a token for a specific user and for the service 'Request login URL Service' (Admin > Plugins > Web services > Manage tokens)
|
|
6. Configure your external application to make a web call to get login URL.
|
|
7. Redirect your users to this URL to be logged in to Moodle.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
**Mapping field**
|
|
|
|
Required data structure for web call is related to mapping field you configured.
|
|
|
|
For example XML-RPC (PHP structure) description for different mapping field settings:
|
|
|
|
***User name***
|
|
|
|
[user] =>
|
|
Array
|
|
(
|
|
[username] => string
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
***Email Address***
|
|
|
|
[user] =>
|
|
Array
|
|
(
|
|
[email] => string
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
***ID number***
|
|
|
|
[user] =>
|
|
Array
|
|
(
|
|
[idnumber] => string
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
***Web service will return following structure or standard Moodle webservice error message.***
|
|
|
|
Array
|
|
(
|
|
[loginurl] => string
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
Please navigate to API documentation to get full description for "auth_userkey_request_login_url" function.
|
|
e.g. http://yourmoodle.com/admin/webservice/documentation.php
|
|
|
|
You can amend login URL by "wantsurl" parameter to redirect user after theu logged in to Moodle.
|
|
|
|
E.g. http://yourmoodle.com/auth/userkey/login.php?key=uniquekey&wantsurl=http://yourmoodle.com/course/view.php?id=3
|
|
|
|
Wantsurl maybe internal and external.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**User key life time**
|
|
|
|
This setting describes for how long a user key will be valid. If you try to use expired key then you will
|
|
get an error.
|
|
|
|
**IP restriction**
|
|
|
|
If this setting is set to yes, then your web application has to provie user's ip address to generate a user key. Then
|
|
the user should have provided ip when using this key. If ip address is different a user will get an error.
|
|
|
|
**Logout redirect URL**
|
|
|
|
You can set URL to redirect users after they logged out from Moodle. For example you can redirect them
|
|
to logout script of your web application to log users out from it as well. This setting is optional.
|
|
|
|
|
|
TODO:
|
|
-----
|
|
1. Add users provisioning.
|
|
2. Implement logout webservice to be able to call it from external application.
|
|
3. Add a test client code to README.
