New methods just added include IMAP, POP3 and NNTP servers (including
those using SSL or certificate-based authentication), and also
authentication against user-specified fields in ANY
- external database table. In addition, Moodle now sports a cool
+ external database table. The login page can now be partially customised
+ by the admin with personalised instructions, and the guest login can be
+ hidden if desired. In addition, Moodle now sports a cool
new admin GUI for configuring all of this, so it should be pretty
- easy to configure external authentication.
- Many thanks to contributor Petri Asikainen for helping with the GUI.<BR><BR>
