1. Is the only way to enable SSO through selecting a link in Joomdle module? Noticed that when I sign into Joomla and go to Moodle via another menu link, etc. SSO is not enabled.
2. Sometimes I get the error "A server error that affects your login session was detected. Please login again or restart your browser." If I wait a few seconds it will clear and take me to the selected link from Joomdle module. This happens after I manually log out of Moodle and Joomla and try to re-log in without closing my browser.
3. Noticed that I can not log directly into Moodle using the new account username and password that was created via Joomla. Only way to get to Moodle from this new account is through Joomla SSO. Is this correct?
4. I am not able to log into Moodle via SSO of Joomdle Module with any previous created username / password. It will only authenticate users created since Joomdle was set up... Correct?
Thanks again for your help!

Few quick questions about SSO...
1. Is the only way to enable SSO through selecting a link in Joomdle module? Noticed that when I sign into Joomla and go to Moodle via another menu link, etc. SSO is not enabled.
Yes, for SSO to work you must go through the SSO system, which is reached via those special links.
2. Sometimes I get the error "A server error that affects your login session was detected. Please login again or restart your browser." If I wait a few seconds it will clear and take me to the selected link from Joomdle module. This happens after I manually log out of Moodle and Joomla and try to re-log in without closing my browser.
Don't know what is the problem, but i write it down to test at home. I will report back when I know something.
If you discover anything else about this issue, please tell me.
3. Noticed that I can not log directly into Moodle using the new account username and password that was created via Joomla. Only way to get to Moodle from this new account is through Joomla SSO. Is this correct?
Yes. In Moodle, users are asigned one authentication method, so: either they are local users (and login with user/pass at moodle) or they are joomdle users, and must login throuh Joomla.
4. I am not able to log into Moodle via SSO of Joomdle Module with any previous created username / password. It will only authenticate users created since Joomdle was set up... Correct?
In theory, you could use some user already created in Joomla. Clicking on a SSO link would take you to Moodle, creating the new user there.
If you mean using users already created in the two platforms, I think the answer is no. Or maybe you could edit old Moodle users and change tehir auth method.
