Re: [Server-devel] extension of Moodle authentication mechanism
Thank you. I'll spend some time studying it and try to write up some documentation, and use cases.

Re: [Server-devel] extension of Moodle authentication mechanism
For full disclosure. This feature has been sitting on the side lines because of its kludginess. So, keep you hopes low :( On Mon, Oct 28, 2013 at 10:28 AM, George Hunt georgejh...@gmail.com wrote: Thank you. I'll spend some time studying it and try to write up some documentation, and use cases.

Re: [Server-devel] extension of Moodle authentication mechanism
In fact, the only feature so far is mimic authentication mechanism used by Moodle. I documented [1] how Moodle's/XO autologin works and implemented it using Flask, the Python web micro framework. Next step will be to turn xs-authserver into an authorization server maybe using OAuth. This would allow to use xs-authserver as an identity provider by external services easily. If you have problems running xs-authserver, take a look to this issue [2] in DXS. 1: https://gist.github.com/migonzalvar/279de1bbf414df1fad8c 2: https://sugardextrose.org/issues/4759#note-3 On Mon, Oct 28, 2013 at 6:41 PM, David Farning dfarn...@activitycentral.com wrote: For full disclosure.
