Drupal authentication: User guide
Introduction
There is no direct use of this component, apart from the ability for a user to use an authenticated permalink to land directly on an internal Moodle page under their own identity.
For security reasons the ticket has a finite lifetime. Developers relying on this component to generate return links will take care to provide ticket validity durations that offer the best compromise between security and usage needs.
Example use case:
When using the shop, when a invoice notification is sent to the customer, the customer can come back to the support course to download their invoice without authenticating with the login/password pair. The system generates a temporary encrypted access token passed, for a temporary validity period, in the body of the sent mail.
This entry point should preferably be used over https to avoid any interception.
Return address to Moodle
Any link to Moodle carrying a “ticket=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX” parameter is potentially a return link by ticket authentication.
