External login integration

[jamorford]

Does RosarioSIS have any support for external users, such as with LDAP? I cannot seem to find any mention of it on the website or wiki. This is really the only thing holding me back from wanting to use the software as teachers having one account seems to be difficult enough to manage. If this feature does not exist, in which portion of the software would it need to be implemented?

Hello @ibleedbinari
RosarioSIS does not support LDAP.
This feature could be implemented as a plugin. Please contact us at https://rosariosis.org/services if you would like to fund the development.

Where would I start if I were to develop the plugin? I don't understand how plugins integrate with RosarioSIS and can't find any documentation on it.

Hello @ibleedbinari
To start developing a plugin, please head to https://github.com/francoisjacquet/rosariosis/tree/mobile/plugins
There is no more documentation than this for now. Of course, you can study the existing Moodle plugin first.

Some general coding guidelines can also be found here: https://github.com/francoisjacquet/rosariosis/blob/mobile/CONTRIBUTING.md#coding-standards

The LDAP plugin for RosarioSIS is available. It is a simple auth plugin yet. Sponsors are welcome to implement advanced features.
