Sounds logical for me. Assigning to Martin for his consideration. Addressing for Moodle 2.0, perhaps as part of the auth/enrol rework?. Adding some specialists in custom profile fields & authentication/enrolments.

Thanks for report. Ciao

Yes, absolutely.

This would be part of the general process of converting most of of the fixed user profile fields into custom user fields in Moodle 2.0, which solves a lot of things. There is a bug for this somewhere ..... Shane?

We already developed this feature for Moodle 1.8
If you think it could be useful for Moodle's developers I can post our hack.
However if you are planning a rework for auth component, it's better if you don't think about the code you wrote before.

Hi there!

Finally I found a post related to my requirement. (happy for that)

Look, I'm connecting Moodle to an LDAP previously authenticated against a CAS server.
Among the fields in the LDAP tree I'm storing the userRoleID, which is quite suggesting of what is its purpose, don't you think?
Well... Now I need to find a way to bind that roleID to Moodle's roleIDs.

The problem here is that our client is a bit in a hurry and maybe he couldn't wait till v2.0

Is there any way / help / code you could give me in order to solve this?
Sorry, but I'm no familiar to Moodle's code even though I'm PHP dev.

Any guidelines will be very appreciated!

Thnx for reading.

Please use moodle.org forums for general support, this might not be the best place
