Moodle - NTLM Authentication Clarification

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

I am looking at this guide about NTLM authentication - NTLM authentication - MoodleDocs

 

Under Installation on 1.9 it says the following

 

On IIS: turn on Integrated Authentication

 

I am running IIS7, the only options i have for authentication are:

 

Basic authentication

Windows authentication

Digest authentication

Radius authentication

 

Im not sure but has it been renamed in IIS7 or is the article incorrect?

 

Which of the above do i need please?

 

Many Thanks

[Iain]

If I remember correctly it's Windows Authentication you need (it's been a while since I've used IIS)

I agree, I suspect they mean Windows authentication.

[Geoff]

Windows Auth.

[FN-GM]

Thanks for clearing that up

Hi i am back

 

Does anyone know if it will work with basic Auth? Reason i am asking is our portal only supports basic auth and no auth.

 

Thanks

[Michael]

The problem with Basic is it'll sent passwords unencrypted. Something you probably want to avoid.

[Geoff]

Unless you do it over https.

[FN-GM]

https shouldnt be a problem.

 

would moodle support it? i doubt it will

[Geoff]

Site Admin -> Security -> HTTP Security.

 

Enable 'Use HTTPS for Logins'.

 

Beware the scarey warnings.

I am just wondering if Basic Auth will work with the moodle NTLM. also will is transparently Authenticate in IE like Windows Auth does?

[Geoff]

no it'll pop up a little box.

[Iain]

Unfortunatly no, I don't think it will. Edited July 28, 2009 by Iain
incorrect info

[FN-GM]

grrr, never mind, will have to see if the Portal box support it in feature firmware releases.
