Moodle data mapping
Hi all,
 
I've been looking into implementing the Live Services with as much automation as possible and looked as if I'd found a solution doing the following...
 
Users get created in AD from MIS data and auto imported into AD
 
ILM then auto creates the Live@Edu accounts, LiveID should then be in the email format user@redbridge-iae.ac.uk
 
AD users are synced into Moodle via the Moodle ldap sync script with the MSN_ID field mapped to the email address
 
Student then logs into Moodle with their LDAP authenticated account, sets password on the LiveID block and they’re away...
 
Looked great but then went into the Moodle LDAP auth section and found I can't map to custom fields :(
 
Moodle don't seem to be bothered about fixing this until version 2.0...
 
 
 
Have you come across this issue before and any ideas how I could get the MSN_ID field mapped automatically? It would be the same as the email address field that I can auto generate if that helps?
 
Thanks,
