Dynamically decide on authentication method for web services accounts

[Kristina Hoeppner]

When accounts are created via web services, the default authentication method is set to 'internal' in /webservice/wsdoc.php?functionname=mahara_user_create_users 'auth: string (safedir) Default "internal"' and will need to be overwritten specifically.

It would be better, if the default was the authentication method listed first on the institution's setting screen. That way, it is easier to see what the authentication method is.

Currently, the priority order of the authentication methods for an institution determines the order in which the auth methods are tested when someone tries to log in. Therefore, I think it could be well used to for the web services accounts as most accounts for an organisation will be created that way and thus determining the default auth method based on the priority order would be good.

It will continue to be possible to determine a specific auth method for web services accounts if the more dynamic way would not work for an organisation.
