Ticket based authentication (Authticket)

Presentation

The Ticket direct access based authentification allows a user automatically reach a logged in page in Moodle using a sealed ticket. This may be used for some moodle plugins that want to send asynchronous notifications and facilitate way back to the moodle page.

Important : This plugin has no “direct user use” (no accessible GUI, neither any user that could have auth bind to it). It is intended for moodle developers and integrators to have a packaged way to produce self-login access tickets for any use case needing preparing a “delayed” login operation by the end user.
