Testing scenario 1: Upgrade without the enrol_mnet plugin present Start with a non-patched version of Moodle Enable "MNet Authentication" in Site Administration > Plugins > Manage authentication Apply the patch of this issue Upgrade Moodle Log in as an admin Go to Site Administration> Plugins > Plugins Overview . Verify there is no longer a mention of "MNet remote enrolments" Testing scenario 2: Upgrade with the enrol_mnet plugin present The goal of this test is to ensure that connected Moodle sites using MNet allow an administrator of site1 to enrol users that are "native" to site1 in remote courses in site2, and vice versa. Setup Please note: it's possible that you see some notices during the setup part depending on the debugging levels in your site. You can ignore them as long as the configuration works as expected. Setup a couple of Moodle sites: site1 running an older version, for example: Moodle 4.4.x (MOODLE_404_STABLE). site2 running the version to be released (main). In the file /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf search for the section openssl_init and make the following changes, so this part of the file looks like the following: [openssl_init] providers = provider_sect   [provider_sect] default = default_sect legacy = legacy_sect   [default_sect] activate = 1   [legacy_sect] activate = 1 Run the following command and verify it does not throw an error: echo -ne "test" | openssl rc4-40 -K 7465737473 -nosalt -e -nopad | xxd Make sure you have basic network connectivity between the two sites. eg. you can curl/wget the URL for site1 from site2 and vice versa Make sure that the IP and port of both sites are not blocked. Navigate to: Administration > Security > HTTP security and make sure the site IP and ports are not in "cURL blocked hosts list " and "cURL allowed ports list ". (you can just clear both lists) Ensure that they have different $CFG->sessioncookiepath settings either on config.php or in Site Administration > Server > Session handling In both sites, enable and configure MNet as explained in the doc page. Please note: You need to configure all the steps, including the "Get remote enrolments going" ones. Create user1 in site1 and user2 in site2 . Create course1 in site1 and course2 in site2 .   Testing Start with a non-patched version of Moodle Enable MNet in Site Administration > General > Advanced features and set "Networking" to On .
