{{Moodle 1.8}}

Random notes for Moodle networking (MNet). Should get these organised...

* Documentation for administrators is here [[MNet]]
* Some old documentation about the initial planning and dev
** [[Community_hub]]
** [[Community_hub_technotes]]
** [[Community_hub_progress]]

=Key config variables and functions=

// what mnethostid should "local" users have?
// this is guaranteed to be set, except during the 1.7->1.8 upgrade
$id = $CFG->mnet_localhost_id;

// a quick way to check if our user is remote:
is_mnet_remote_user($user);
// internally is_mnet_remote_user() does
// if ($user->mnethostid != $CFG->mnet_localhost_id)

// Are we listening to mnet requests? Nothing else works if we aren't.
if ($CFG->mnet_dispatcher_mode === 'strict') {
// Moodle is listening to mnet requests. Nothing else works if we aren't.
}

// Are we allowing remote users in via auth/mnet?
if (is_enabled_auth('mnet')) {
// yes indeed
}

// Will auth/mnet autocreate new user accts?
if (get_config('auth/mnet', 'auto_add_remote_users')) {
// yes it will!
}

I have never seen a config variable name like 'auth/mnet'. Everywhere else we use 'auth_mnet' style names. And increasingly we are trying to move stuff that can be moved to config_plugins instead of the main $CFG.

=Protocols=

==MNET handshake==

==Authentication/SSO==

==Enrolment==

=To Do=

Some immediate items that would add polish without major surgery

* Exchange more enrolment info at log-entry exchange time on cron
* Special default role
** Add a new "remote student" role
** Add a config var to enrol/mnet: "defaultremoterole" to use "remote student"
** Add a config var to the courses table to optionally override defaultremoterole
* Nicer CSS in the "my courses" listing in moodle homepage for remote hosts and remote courses. See course/lib.php print_remote_course() and print_remote_host().

=Roadmap=

A bit more work, and a whole lot more features. From easy to hard...

* Better per-host stats and log views for administrators. This is relatively easy using data we already have.
* In mod/forum craft a special URL for remote users so that the post URL is in the wantsurl parameter, so they can bounce-off their IDP in one go.
** According to Jonathan Harker, this requires that we modify jump to accept the remote wwwroot as a parameter. Also: will this be safe enough?
* Display aggregated calendar on the IDP
* Exchange grades. Needs a bit of design.
* Build a SCORM/IMSCP/MoodleZip repository scheme.
maybe: the suggested [https://docs.moodle.org/en/Metadata:MoodleCore MoodleCORE] scheme ?
** MartinL has some ideas on how to get this done in easy and super-scalable.
