Moodle 2.0

This document explains how an administrator set up a web service for ordinary users.

Introduction

A user goes on his security keys page. He gets a security key (also called token). He enters the key on the external application accessing to Moodle. At any time, a user can reset the key if he suspects that it has been stolen. The key is complex, long and difficult to generate. This is the recommended authentication method for web service. This document explains how a Moodle administrator can set it up.

Enable the web service in Moodle

  Settings block > Site Administration > Advanced features
Check Enable web services option and Save Changes

Add new custom service page

A service is a group of web service functions. You need to create first the service then add the function. When you create the service do not check "Authenticated users", we want all users (only the one with "moodle/webservice:createtoken" capability) to be able to use the web service. If you want you can select a required capability. Any user access a web service will be checked against it. It is just an additional and optional security layer for your own usage.

  Enter a name, check enable
  Click on Save changes
