There is a problem with auto enrolment with using eDirectory. after some investigation and finding that other people have this issue - http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=130647 - I investigated further and I think I found the problem. I was able to successfully setup auto enrolment with openLDAP but not with eDir.




My eDir LDAP Enrolment Setup:

student: ou=Students,ou=Moodle,o=ITS | member (not memberUID)

enrol_ldap_objectclass: groupOfNames
enrol_ldap_course_idnumber: cn
enrol_ldap_course_shortname: cn
enrol_ldap_course_fullname: fullName (field added through console1 under "other")
enrol_ldap_course_summary: description



--LDIF of the same record on oLDAP and eDir--

OpenLDAP:

dn: cn=ITSBT,ou=Students,ou=Moodle,o=ITS
objectClass: posixGroup
objectClass: top
cn: ITSBT
gidNumber: 1002
memberUid: jbloggs
description: testing stuff


eDirectory:
<irrelevant lines omitted>
dn: cn=ITSBT,ou=Students,ou=Moodle,o=ITS
fullName: ITS Bypass Test
objectClass: groupOfNames
objectClass: Top
member: cn=jbloggs,ou=STUDENTS,ou=USERS,o=ITS
description: testing stuff
cn: ITSBT


The point I noticed was the difference between what is stored in memberUID under OpenLDAP and member under eDirectory. It looks like the data that's being returned is not being parsed properly.
