Configuation of Azure with multiple moodle sites using the same domain
Hello, we are running about 30 separate copies of moodle off of a single domain. The sites are accessed different by pointing to a separate folder. http://moodle.schools.edu/{site name}. When configuring Azure, it asks for domain, and site return url...right now we have 1 site that is trying to use it...so I think it can work, however, if more sites want to use this I'll run in to problems. So I am going to try just putting in my domain name, and return url will include the site name. I'll know if this works later, but how can I solve this for the future sites that want to use the plugin? Thanks!

As far as i know, the domain field doesn't accept "/" when applying for an app ID. You cannot supply a domain like this moodle.schools.edu/{site name} to setup a new live service.
 
Nevertheless, a domain name like this is valid,
 
{site name}.schools.edu

Thats what it looked like to me. Unfortunatly using a seperate domain name makes SSL certs expensive...and an absurdly long domain name. I guess this is a feature request. :)

Our Moodle host sets up the Moodle sites in a similar way, we've got around it by using a subdomain under our main site e.g. vle.school.ac.uk (where their website would be school.ac.uk) and at the host end they've set up some DNS \ forwarding to move the request to the correct sub-site. Might work for you if the schools have their own websites \ domain name already?

Can you please tell me how did you install multiple instances of moodle on Azure. That would be a great help to me. Thanks
