Log in your Moodle as Admin and go to "Notifications" page

You configure the web service URL, the name of the function to be called, the returned Class and attribute to get the boolean result from.

This plugins does not create users, and also does not update users records.

Users are suposed to be created and updated by external service using the Moodle's webservices.

Users should have "auth = ws" for this plugin to authenticate users.

The screenshot below shows an example of how to configure you plugin to call your webservice

For this to happen you must change the "is_synchronised_with_external" function at https://github.com/danielneis/moodle-auth_ws/blob/master/auth.php#L134 to return true.

Then you must implement the "get_userinfo" function at https://github.com/danielneis/moodle-auth_ws/blob/master/auth.php#L88 to return the information for the user. See the fields on user table that Moodle may use to check if user is confirmed/complete.
