Configuring Your Site<br />

The following screenshot shows an administrator using the web-based product<br />

phpMyAdmin to edit this setting in <strong>Moodle</strong>'s database. Notice the setting for<br />

logging in via HTTPS is in the table mdl_config. The administrator is clicking on<br />

the Edit icon. If this cell contains a 0, HTTPS login is not required. If it contains a 1,<br />

HTTPS login is required. If you're locked out because of HTTPS login, change the contents<br />

of this cell to 0. Then try logging in again.<br />

Running <strong>Moodle</strong> entirely from HTTPS<br />

Although this is not a setting on the HTTP security page, we should note at this<br />

point that you can run <strong>Moodle</strong> entirely from a secure connection. You can do this by<br />

configuring your Web server to serve <strong>Moodle</strong>'s address using a secure connection.<br />

You will need to speak to your web server administrator to set this up.<br />

Note that using this setting greatly increases the amount of memory and processing<br />

time that your server will use when serving <strong>Moodle</strong>. Your system administrator will<br />

need to closely monitor the performance of the server to ensure that it gives your<br />

users acceptable performance.<br />
