[shib_auth] Shib + Drupal 7 + Moodle 2

[Frosina Koceva]

I'm a noob to all of this and i'm not sure if Moodle supports changing its
front-end to Drupal.
- I'll try to make Drupal as the front end portal for my site, and Moodle as
the LMS. In this case, Drupal provides the portal features such as keeping
track of interested students, program information, application and  forms,
 and the registratuion of the new users which will be delegate to the
Shib(if i'm not wrong)., with Moodle providing the course and degree program
management features on the LMS end...
- One of the problem is that there is no Drupal7-Moodle2 integration, so i
thought to try to make SSO or with LDAP+CAS or only CAS or Shib..i still
don't know what is the best solution since i'm trying also to understand the
bases..
- But one is sure that an user info is not only user name and password but i
need that there will be much more information for every registered user, so
maybe for storing in a secure way those information ,which will be shared
between Drupal an Moodle,is better to use LDAP and for the Single Sign On to
use CAS?...

Thanks Kristof, and thanks Tommy for helping me to figure out these things,
i'm very grateful.
