This plugin allows one to insert WIMS classes in Moodle classes. It requires a WIMS server to have been setup and correctly configured. Information regarding extended configuration for the WIMS server required for this plugin to work can be found below:

WIMS Configuration files

A set of configuration files need to be setup on the wims server to enable connections from Moodle

The configuration files belong in the directory: .../wims/log/classes/.connections/

The files are called: moodle moodlehttps moodlejson moodlejsonhttps

In the template below one needs to specify a number of parameters by hand including: ident_site => which must include the ip address that the Moodle server connects from ident_password => which should be a real password and will need to be provided as a parameter to the moodle plugin

The files are identical except for the following differences:

moodle

ident_protocol=http ident_type=wims

moodlehttps

ident_protocol=https ident_type=wims

moodlejson

ident_protocol=http ident_type=json
