AIM Moodle integration is now broke as of 8-26

[janderso]

Hello folks,

A broken integration brings me to this forum unfortunatley. Our Moodle site has been operating for about 2 years perfectly but this morning I learned it is not working correctly. This plugin uses an AIM method and nothing has been touched / changed at the site. Our SSL certificate is still good and was issued through godaddy.

Not sure if transaction are working or not, need to wait until the end of day to see how it reconciles. But Basically, learners try to purchase a course and then there is an error, enrolment does not occur.

I am not the only one - other Moodle sites have broke too you can see an active thread of the issue:

http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=209801

I also documented the trouble in a movie here:

So, I am asking, does anyone know of a change that has happened to AIM method? Security or otherwise that would break an older site? I don't know what to fix , because I don't fully know what the problem is yet.

Thanks for any insight / next step ideas.

John

If the AIM Moodle integration suddenly broke after the 8-26 update, there’s a good chance the issue is related to an API change, authentication mismatch, plugin compatibility problem, or updated security restrictions on either side of the integration. In situations like this, the best approach is usually to check recent update logs, enable Moodle debugging, and verify whether tokens, endpoints, or plugin versions changed after the update. Sometimes even a small backend modification can break the entire connection flow.

Troubleshooting issues like this actually feels a lot like solving Letter Boxed answers — one missing connection or incorrect sequence can stop everything from working properly, but once you identify the exact broken link, the whole system starts fitting together again logically.
