Moodle - FirstClass authentication module
-----------------------------------------
This module uses the FirstClass Flexible Provisining Protocol (FPP) to communicate between the FirstClass server
and the Moodle host.

following lines.

// TCP port for Flexible Provisioning Protocol (FPP).
TCPFPPPORT = 3333


2. Create an account on the FirstClass server with privilege "Subadministrator".
Using the FPP protocoll this module logs in to the FirstClass server and issuess batch admin commands.
Batch admin command can only be issued in the context of a user with subadministrative privileges.

Default account name is "fcMoodle".


3. Check that the FPP protocoll is working by running a Telnet session. If everyting is working you
should get a "+0" answer from the server.

> telnet yourhost.domain.com 3333
+0

Check that the "fcMoodle" is working by entering the following sequens of commands:

> telnet yourhost.domain.com 3333
+0
fcMoodle
+0

Get user some_user_id 1201

1201 0 some_user_id
