Description

Attached are my proposed updates to the AuthMoodle.php/sso plugin that Martin D and Luke Hudson worked upon a little while back. I have updated the code for MultiAuth in Moodle 1.9+ and thus administrators do not have to patch core moodlelib code to install this functionality, therefore removing the likelihood of the plugin breaking on consecutive upgrades. Developed as a result of some work I was doing for my employer to allow single sign-on connectivity between a MediaWiki 1.14.0 install and Moodle 1.9.

William - Thanks for updating and sharing this code with the Moodle community. I have added the code to contrib but did take the liberty of moving a few things around. For example, the extensions folder I placed in /auth/mwiki/extensions so that it can be delivered to users in a single zip file. I also renamed README to README.txt (I think, I've been working on several different projects recently trying to catch up on a rather large backlog). I have created a component in the tracker called Auth: Mediawiki and bumped your privileges so that you will be able to manage issues related to the code. If you could, I would recommend reading http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Guidelines_for_contributed_code to make sure we have covered all of the typical bases in terms of creating a page in Moodle Docs and adding this to the Modules and Plugins database. In addition, if you could apply for CVS write access at http://moodle.org/cvs/ stating that you will be maintaining the code in contrib/plugins/auth/mwiki then I can grant your access. Let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything else I can do to be helpful. Peace - Anthony

Just to document here in the tracker, I have sent a message and email to Luke who added the initial M&P entry for the mediawiki sso authentication plugin http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=1575&filter=1?. My hope is to be able to make William the listed as the added of the record so that he can edit it as appropriate and maintain in the entry description the original history that the record was added by Luke. Peace - Anthony

I received an email back from Luke and have updated the M&P entry http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=1575 so that it now appears that you have added it. I added a note which I request that you maintain indicating that Luke originally added the record. Let me know if you have any questions. The advantage now is that you can update that record but if you do let me know so that I can get it re-approved so that it remains visible to the public. Peace - Anthony
