Moodle Single Sign-on

Overview

Moodle Single Sign-on (SSO) allows users to log into Moodle using their Onefile credentials. If a user does not already have an account in Moodle, one will be created automatically during the login process. This integration simplifies access and ensures user accounts stay aligned between systems.

To enable the Moodle integration, please contact your Onefile Account Manager.

The Client ID and Secret required for configuration are generated when creating a Single Sign-on app for Moodle in Onefile.

User Roles

This feature can be used by:

• Centre Managers – Can add a Single Sign-on app.
• Moodle Administrators – Can install and configure the Moodle plugin.

5. Click Add Single Sign-on App.

Installing the Moodle Plugin

This section must be completed by a Moodle Administrator or your internal IT team with backend access.

There are two ways to install the Onefile Authentication Plugin:

• FTP method: Open the auth folder inside Moodle and paste in the unzipped plugin files.
• Moodle interface: Log into Moodle as an Administrator and upload the ZIP via the plugin upload interface.

After installation, enter the Client ID and Secret provided by Onefile (from the SSO Integrations page).

Once the plugin is installed and configured, enable it by clicking the Eye icon. Enabling the plugin will display the “Log in with Onefile” button on your Moodle login page.

Tips & Notes

• You must create the Moodle SSO app in Onefile before configuring the plugin in Moodle.
• Ensure the Client ID and Secret are stored securely and only shared with authorised administrators.
• If the login button does not appear on Moodle, check that the plugin is enabled.
