 Description  « Hide
Our students authenticate via LDAP.

The moment they log on they are asked to "Please tell us more about yourself"

There is however no description field that appears so they can't do so.

I've changed the setting so I can now add a description but it still doesn't let me through. See 2nd screen shot.

Andre Basel added a comment - 09/Feb/09 07:38 AM
All fields filled but still told to "Tell us more about yourself"

where is the email address? I can not see it on those screenshots

Andre Basel added a comment - 09/Feb/09 08:23 AM
0000@student.rosmini.school.nz

Petr Skoda added a comment - 09/Feb/09 08:26 AM
hmm, running out of ideas

Petr Skoda added a comment - 09/Feb/09 08:27 AM
OH! could you please try to not use zeros as first character in username and email?
For historical reasons we use empty() which is sloppy and might cause this problem

Andre Basel added a comment - 09/Feb/09 08:44 AM
No it made no difference. I tried characters instead and still got the some problem.

Remember finding a hack to this issue but can no longer find it. What code can I comment out to get this to work?


Andre Basel added a comment - 09/Feb/09 08:46 AM
The username is

username can not start with 0, please try a different username

Petr Skoda added a comment - 10/Feb/09 03:52 AM
oh, tested it - they need to confirm email address before they can continue
workaround is to disable email confirmation

Petr Skoda added a comment - 10/Feb/09 03:53 AM
or better you can prefil ot for them from LDAP

Petr Skoda added a comment - 10/Feb/09 03:54 AM
closing for now, please tell me if it did not solve the issue

hmm, reopening again - I think we could add error with information that email must be confirmed

Hi.. how do I prefill it from LDAP?

Andre Basel added a comment - 20/Feb/09 03:53 PM
This issue is really causing grief for my students. Where can I hack it in the code?

Petr Skoda added a comment - 20/Feb/09 04:18 PM
in ldap auth configuration

Andre Basel added a comment - 20/Feb/09 04:46 PM
This won't work as our students e-mail is hosted via gmail so isn't stored in AD. I'm needing to know how I can prevent the e-mail from being a required field, or even better make it required but have no need to have it confirmed... which module does this?

Andre Basel added a comment - 20/Feb/09 04:51 PM
So I was wrong.... using the binding sorted it out...

Thanks


Andre Basel added a comment - 20/Feb/09 04:55 PM
Aaagh my mistake... I tested it on a user that had already been authenticated...

Petr Skoda added a comment - 20/Feb/09 07:16 PM
username and emails are related, right? why not enter them somehow into AD?
How did you create the email accounts in google? You may use something similar to put them into AD, right?

Andre Basel added a comment - 20/Feb/09 07:56 PM
Login ids are a number .. eg 9999 (i.e. the username in LDAP). E-mails are 9999@student.rosmini.school.nz GMAIL hosts the email for that subdomain. Accounts are created in GMAIL by uploading a CSV file. I could bind an e-mail address from LDAP if I were somehow able to say name+'@student.rosmini.schooll.nz' or something like that.

By doing the following, I made the the site workable

"You can turn off email change confirmation by unchecking the emailchangeconfirmation box in Administration > Security > Site policies"
