If it succeeds, it never returns.

◆ ntlmsso_magic()

auth_plugin_ldap::ntlmsso_magic (   $sesskey)
inherited

To be called from a page running under NTLM's "Integrated Windows Authentication".

If successful, it will set a special "cookie" (not an HTTP cookie!) in cache_flags under the $this->pluginconfig/ntlmsess "plugin" and return true. The "cookie" will be picked up by ntlmsso_finish() to complete the process.

On failure it will return false for the caller to display an appropriate error message (probably saying that Integrated Windows Auth isn't enabled!)

NOTE that this code will execute under the OS user credentials, so we MUST avoid dealing with files – such as session files. (The caller should define('NO_MOODLE_COOKIES', true) before including config.php)

This method is called from require_login from potentially any page for all enabled auth plugins and gives each plugin a chance to redirect directly to an external login page, or to instantly login a user where possible.

If an auth plugin implements this hook, it must not rely on ONLY this hook in order to work, as there are many ways a user can browse directly to the standard login page. As a general rule in this case you should also implement the loginpage_hook as well.

◆ pre_user_login_hook()

auth_plugin_base::pre_user_login_hook ( $user)
inherited
