[Solved] Locked out of Moodle was created by Olivier Turpin
Hi,

I have been tinkering with the moodle configuration, and accidentally undid part of the setup for Joomdle. So now Joomla connects to Moodle, but not the other way around.

So when I try to login to moodle, it redirects me to joomla to sign in, and even if I do, it won't log me in to moodle. So I am locked out.

Please help. (P.s. I am not using an alternate login url)

Thanks!


Joomla 2.5.24
Joomdle 0.95

Do you mean that you cannot access Moodle with any admin user?
We always recommend to keep at least one "normal" moodle admin, so in case Joomdle connection breaks, you can always log in to try to fix it.

If that's your case, you will need to modify user in database, and set his auth method to manual instead of joomdle.Then, use Joomdle admin acess URL to log in (with user's original credentials).

Hi Antonio,

Thanks for the reply.

That's not exactly my problem, but I think setting the auth method to manual could work.
Could you tell me where it's located in the database?

The joomla login no longer logs users into moodle, but when trying to login to moodle, it redirects to joomla. So I am locked out of moodle.

Thanks!

Hi, I am still locked out of my Moodle.

Everytime I click on the login in moodle, it redirects me to my joomla site login. But joomla login does not connect me to moodle.
Would you know how to deactivate the redirect to joomla login through the database?

Thanks

I am sorry, I found the problem and it is not within Joomdle.

Problem solved, thank you for your time!
