      Description

      My site is set up so that users get added via Active Directory, and are given a link to the first subject in their course, which they then enrol in using an enrolment key. I am now finding that when users do so, they get an error page at 'lib/ajax/getnavbranch.php', which says 'Error: A required parameter (id) was missing'. They are still enrolled in the course as expected, but the error page understandably concerns and confuses people.

      In the testing I have done, this only seems to happen for users who were created in active directory; a test account of mine that was created manually within Moodle itself did not have this problem.
