Moodle Tabs AUthentification

[B0ulbi]

Hello,
We are using O365 full integration. Adding moodle course tab is working but our authentificaton system is based on Shibboleth.
When we try to access to Moodle Tab in navigator or Teams Descktop application we have :
1- we need to clic 2 times. Do you have an explication for this behavior?
2- We guet this interface

I want to ask if theire is a way that we

• guet a shibboleth token for SSO / or the valid moodle session token
• or at least redirect the user to the course url when he clic on the tab moodle. After the user can manage his authentification by him self.
  Thanks

Hi @B0ulbi,

The Teams integration in Moodle tabs is designed to find the valid ID token from the Teams web app or desktop/mobile app, and try to match it with an existing ID token stored in the mdl_auth_oidc_token table, achieving SSO. It's not designed to work with shibboleth tokens.

I'm afraid you will need to patch the plugins yourself if you want to redirect users directly to the course view pages.

I think I missed your first question.

Normally when the Moodle tab is accessed first, it may take a bit longer time to load, as it's accessing a page on your Moodle site, and there are JS code running on the page trying to log users in. In our experience, this may take no more than 2 seconds than loading other tabs, and we never needed to click the tab twice to load.

I'd suggest you turn on developer mode in Teams (either web app or desktop app) and use the network tools to locate where the delay happens.
