Please note, drupal module has been removed from Core as of Drupal 6. It will instead be available as the contrib "site_network" module.

The Drupal module uses the XML-RPC network communication protocol to connect your site with a directory server.

Enabling the Drupal module will:

  • allow members on all sites using the Drupal module to login to your site without registering using their distributed identification and vice versa.
  • allow members to login to any other site which uses the Drupal module, using a login name which looks much like an email address for your site: username@example.com

The Drupal module administration page allows you to set the xml-rpc server page. The listing of your site in a site directory will occur shortly after your sites next cron run.

You can

  • run your cron job manually at your sites cron page.
  • view the XML-RPC page.
  • administer Drupal administer >> settings >> drupal.
