glennda Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Is anybody using Mahara? And has got LDAP to work? I can see there is a plugin for it and its there i just can't seem to work out how to configure it! Also there doesn't seem to be alot of information on there site about setting it up. Also if I link it to moodle will it use the moodle auth stuff?
reggiep Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Search for mahoodle. There is a great document out there somewhere on integration. I'll pop back later when i get a chance, but google mahoodle. Yes users log in to moodle and clicking on a link on your front page auto logs you in to mahara. 1

Yeah i've saw that although couldn't find much info about it on the mahara site (which doesn't seem to have much info about anything!) I'll look on the moodle site
Butters Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) Glennda, To setup LDAP Authentication in Mahara you will need to go to the institution area in Site Administration. Click 'Edit' on the main institution and from there you should see Authentication plugins. Add LDAP and then click on it to get the edit options to open up. Edited April 27, 2011 by Butters 1

Thats it - although it doesn't seem to want to connect!
reggiep Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 Just in case you have not looked yet here is the link to the moodle/mahara integration on the moodle site. I used it and I ended up with a working site! Mahoodle - MoodleDocs 1

I've done it - it works fine apart from in IE - which is what all the computers in the school use!
glennda Posted April 27, 2011 Author Posted April 27, 2011 What happens in IE? I just get Sorry, we could not log you into Mahara at this time. Please try again shortly, and if the problem persists, contact your administrator whereas both chrome/firefox/opera all login fine! helpful!
reggiep Posted April 27, 2011 Posted April 27, 2011 That happened to me when My moodle and mahara times were not synched. Not sure how that would relate to your problem? Just a thought really.

Yeah strange - they are hosted on the same server so it could be that ie doesn't like that but not sure.
