We imported all our users into LAMS by using LDAP (synced it with Active Directory).

I have already imported all of our groups (around 500 of them) and now need to link all the users to their respective groups (or classes). Using the LAMS imports will not do this.

We don't want to do this manually (there are around 900 users, each of which will be linked to 5 or more groups or classes).

Thanks for the link you gave me, I'll check that out.

Do you know of an easier way to link users to classes form within LAMS?


Thanks
Mike

Mike,

If you using LDAP to do authentication, you can also configure it so every time a user logs in, it check which courses she's in LDAP and update LAMS automatically. That way you don't have to worry about keeping the users in sync. (See the LDAPUpdateOnLogin config setting).

Although if you want to keep the users in Sync, there's also an option (sysadmin menu) to sync up all the users from LDAP at once.

Check out the LDAP page on the wiki:

http://wiki.lamsfoundation.org/display/lamsdocs/LDAP+Configuration

Also make sure you update to LAMS 2.3.5 in case you haven't yet as there were a few issues with LDAP sync in previous versions.

Thanks,

Ernie
