. /** * Extdb user sync script. * * This script is meant to be called from a system cronjob to * sync moodle user accounts with external database. * It is required when using internal passwords (== passwords not defined in external database). * * Sample cron entry: * # 5 minutes past 4am * 5 4 * * * $sudo -u www-data /usr/bin/php /var/www/moodle/auth/db/cli/sync_users.php * * Notes: * - it is required to use the web server account when executing PHP CLI scripts * - you need to change the "www-data" to match the apache user account * - use "su" if "sudo" not available * - If you have a large number of users, you may want to raise the memory limits * by passing -d memory_limit=256M * - For debugging & better logging, you are encouraged to use in the command line: * -d log_errors=1 -d error_reporting=E_ALL -d display_errors=0 -d html_errors=0 * * Performance notes: * + The code is simpler, but not as optimized as its LDAP counterpart. * * @package auth * @subpackage db * @copyright 2006 Martin Langhoff * @license http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU GPL v3 or later */ define('CLI_SCRIPT', true); require(dirname(dirname(dirname(dirname(__FILE__)))).'/config.php'); require_once($CFG->dirroot.'/course/lib.php'); if (!is_enabled_auth('db')) { echo "Plugin not enabled!"; die; } $dbauth = get_auth_plugin('db'); $dbauth->sync_users(true);
