Ticket based authentication : Installation guide
Ticket Direct Access (to Moodle) plugin
Installing
This plugin installs using the standard install method for moodle plugins.
- Unzip the archive in the /auth directory of your moodle installation
- Browse to Site administration/Notification to complete logical installation
Enabling the plugin
Ticket based authentification needs being enabled in the Administration > Plugins > Authentication > Manage authentication plugins panel.
You should place this authentication at the highest possible priority for the pluginto catch any explicit “ticket” attribute in the incoming query.
Global settings
There are only three settings for this plugin:
Ticket TimeGuard
This is the delay starting from ticket emission date the ticket will be valid if it has been created as a short ticket. It is given in hours.
Ticket Long Term TimeGuard
Same as above, but for the long tickets. It is given in days.
Use SSL
Tickets can be encrypted using either DES or RSA encryption. RSA uses the underlying openssl libraries. It is more compatible, but sometimes not available on non ssl enabled hosting. DES uses the mysql/mariadb AES_ENCRYPT/AES_DECRYPT function pair, but this is not available in other DB supports.
