[Preview] Vatsim Connect for Moodle

[Sarantos Tsialtas]

Hi guys, 

after a few days with the help from here this is my settings for moodle platform for OAuth2

 

if you want to disable e-mail confirmation uppor 1rst login with Vatsim Connect run the commad bellow in your database: (you have to run it every time you change your settings on Vatsim Connect)

UPDATE mdl_oauth2_issuer SET requireconfirmation = 0  WHERE id = 1;

 

• Set Callback url  https://your.domain.here/admin/oauth2callback.php
• Use an IP Wildcard (*)  at https://auth.vatsim.net

IP Wildcard and callback url

Hi Sarantos

You should be able to use the built in, or any, OAuth2 module.

i tried auth plugin and it worked.....

i tried aslo the built in one but i cant make it work... 

[Nick Harasym]

When trying to use the auth plugin are any errors happening?

[Sarantos Tsialtas]

on Login Page i get 

Quote

No user information was returned. The OAuth 2 service may be configured incorrectly.

i use the settings bellow....

[Matt Bozwood-Davies]

From what I can tell. service base URL needs to be https://auth.vatsim.net not your domain.

It might be worth looking at nested properties for the field mappings. Not sure how to do it as VATSIM doesn't have our own moodle service. There are several divisions that do so might be able to elaborate if they have achieved it.

The Moodle documentation of OAuth2 user field mappings isn't great, I had to dig quite a while to figure this out for ourselves a while ago. Long story short, if the data is returned in a array that you need to nest, you use "-" to indicate this in the field mapping.

For instance "data-id" and "data-personal-name_first". This is probably your issue here, also as Matt said, service URL should be auth.vatsim.net.
You can find the data structure here: http://wiki.vatsim.net/connect.html under "Return Data Structure". I can't give you the exact copy of our settings as we've a quite different system for logging in.

No need, only store what you need for Moodle to function, which is pretty much username, name and email.

Thank you for your post regarding the VATSIM connect for Moodle. 

These are my current configuration for my oauth: https://prnt.sc/w5uk5u, https://prnt.sc/w5ukfo, https://prnt.sc/w5ukks

However, I am seeing an error as stated: https://prnt.sc/w5uksp

 

Am I missing something ? 

Thanks

Did you used an IP Wildcard (*)  at https://auth.vatsim.net  ?

[Sean Tan]

I don't think I am using one. 
 

[Sean Tan]

In such a case, would I need to add in an ip address from my main host for auth.vatsim.net in order to ensure that it is working ? 

Second question: In regards to the oauth2callback.php, do u have the sample coding to be used if required or would the default script by moodle be suffice ? 

Thanks for your help
