Hi Francois,

I would be of the opinion that this isn't desired behaviour. A better
solution IMHO would be to display a message to the admin saying that it
requires that. The problem with disabling it because of that is that if
there are network problems (as there were with the case the other day),
then the user won't be able to enable it if there are momentary network
problems.

Thoughts?

Cheers,

Hugh

Title:
  BrowserID plugin should check for firewall issues before getting
  enabled

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  If your server is set to prevent outgoing HTTPS connections, the
  BrowserID plugin will fail to verify any assertion with this error
  message:

    Mahara did not receive valid JSON output from the BrowserID
  verifier.

  Ideally, the auth plugin should curl https://browserid.org/verify and
  see if it can reach it succesfully before letting admins enable it for
  a site.
