Hello, 

   In our place all Web based applications (Moodle, Plone, Mediawiki ...) are synchronized with our central LDAP directory  for users accounts and group membership.  This allow automatic creation/removal of user's accounts and registering/unregistering from groups by scripts running at night via server's crons.

  I am pleased to announce versions of these scripts for Mahara, very similar to those known in Moodle

    - synching users from LDAP (see http://docs.moodle.org/24/en/LDAP_authentication )

    - synching group membership based of LDAP groups or on some value in an user's LDAP attribute.  (see https://github.com/patrickpollet/moodle_local_ldap )

Code and docs are at https://github.com/patrickpollet/mahara_ldap_sync

Enjoy (and report  on github ;-))
