Moodle plugin for domjudge

[littleali]

Hi We are about to use DOMjudge for high school student and held contests in pascal. I want to know if there is plugin to use DOMjudge besides moodle, and teams are users of moodle. If the answer is No please point me to complete documentation of api ( I also read http://www.domjudge.org/demoweb/api/ but I didn't get how to authenticate teams in sending post to submissions url). I want to write a plugin for moodle to connect it to DOMjudge .

Thank you!

Hi! What I'd like to understand first is what exactly you want to accomplish. Do you want your moodle account data to be usable with DOMjudge, so that your students can log into DOMjudge with their Moodle credentials? Or is it something different?

HI. Yes I want my students can log into DOMjudge with their Moodle credentials.

And you're using DOMjudge 4.0 or a different version?

[littleali]

I didn't choose the version yet. Excuse me for my bad English.

When starting from scratch I'd use DOMjudge 4.0, our latest and greatest release.

There are several options:

• If you use Moodle with an LDAP backend for its users, you can configure DOMjudge to use the same LDAP backend.
• If you use Moodle with a single-sign-on solution like CAS or SAML 2.0, you can use an Apache module like mod_auth_cas or mod_mellon to authenticate the user on the DOMjudge server, and use the 'EXTERNAL' authentication method of DOMjudge. This method basically lets all authentication be handled by Apache, and depends on Apache to provide DOMjudge with an authenticated username (the REMOTE_USER environment variable).
• If you use Moodle with Moodle's native username/password system, I'm not sure it will work out of the box. However, you can edit lib/www/auth.php to change it to anything that would work for you to authenticate users against any source. That does require some programming to get done, though.
