I marked this as "Invalid" because it's not an issue with Mahara, but
the wiki and thus shouldn't show up anywhere in a changelog.

Title:
  Mahoodle login problem

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  as per http://mahara.org/interaction/forum/topic.php?id=3762

  Here is just the description with the description

  The mahara lib/version.php file I have says 1.3.6 though. The moodle's
  version.php shows 2.0.2

      In Mahara, if the institution has only XMLRC authentication, or
  has others but XMLRC is given no parent, then the problem occurs
  exactly as I've described (user data transfers to Mahara from Moodle,
  but user cannot get passed 'logged out user home' and is never asked
  to change password)

      However, If I put Internal auth as a parent to XMLRC on the
  institution, then I get a go around, by the following odd set of
  events occuring:

          I click the Mahara link under network servers in Moodle, and get brought to the logged out user home in Mahara
          I do nothing in Mahara, and I go back to Moodle, and click the Mahara link again from the network servers block.
          This time, I get transferred to the 'change password' page in Mahara and it says on the side (in Mahara) that I am coming in from Moodle.
          After submitting the changed password in Mahara, I get transferred once again to the logged out home. But this time, since internal is the auth parent, I can log in with the password that was just set.
          No matter which way I order the auths in the institution, the new user from Moodle defaults to Internal Auth. I can log in as admin in Mahara and change the user's auth method. Then with the auth method changed to XMLRC, the user (once logged into Mahara) can jump back and forth between Moodle and Mahara. However, the user still needs to initially log in to Mahara, Moodle still won't send the user straight in.

  So, in conclusion, I have a weird go around that my students can
  manage to use, with me having to go into each user account and change
  the auth method) - but this really does seem like it should be an easy
  fix. When porting over through XMLRC, Mahara just seems to be setting
  some value incorrectly which is sending the user to the wrong page.

  Also, the wantsurl doesn't seem to be getting set, it just shows
  wantsurl= with nothing after the '=' in the redirect. And if there's a
  place in moodle to set it for the jump, I don't see where.

  Of course, maybe it is still something to do with my setup. I have
  moodle and mahara on the same server, and I know nothing about
  OpenSSL.

  Hopefully this detailed description will help someone see what the
  problem is.
