Boost is the default theme you'll see after Moodle installation.

  1. Install a custom Single Sign On (SSO) by navigating to Site Administration -> Plugins -> Install plugins and drag-n-drop the downloaded zip file into the filepicker-container.

  2. After that you'll get a confirmation page saying -> Current release information (Moodle 3.11 (Build: 20210517)), Server checks, Other checks (you'll see php_extensions with other compatibilities in green OK status). At the end of the screen you'll see Your server environment meets all minimum requirements and click on the continue button.

2.1. Next screen is Plugins check. and click Upgrade Moodle database now button.

2.2. Upgrading to new version and click continue.

  1. Enable the Single Sign On (SSO) extension on Moodle by navigating to Site Administration -> Plugins -> Authentication -> Manage Authentication and enable SSO plugin.

3.1. Search SSO in site administration page and you can all available and active SSO. Navigate the newly installed SSO plugin and set the credentials as directed. It'll tell you to create an account and add some secret keys or ID.

Some of the inbuilt OAuth 2 Services you can enable and use them as login like Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Nextcloud and Open Badges. Visit the link in your localhost moodle to get started. http://localhost:80/moodle/admin/tool/oauth2/issuers.php

  • Sure. You need to download Java SSO plugin and make an account in miniOrange to access and test your app. They've free (Unlimited Authentications, configure ID, URL and set login) and premium plugin as well. https://plugins.miniorange.com/java-single-sign-on-sso-connector. – kaych22 Jun 23 '21 at 06:47
  • @Yesha I would suggest you to stick with Moodle because you might have to develop separate Java plugin to show at least - users with their details, courses assigned, progress and upcoming exams inside you Java app. You can install https://github.com/dmirandaa/moodle-auth_saml2sso zip and configure your requirements whether you want to keep app files or database, login, in same directory/server. Also, you can check official Moodle YouTube channel where they share How-To use Moodle. Future companies and universities have added Moodle as their organization's and skills growth. – kaych22 Jun 23 '21 at 08:06
