        !             2: 
        !             3: There are four different authentication modes. Depending on your domain 
        !             4: configuration and role, not all of them may be available:
        !             5: 
        !             6: \begin{enumerate}
        !             7: 
        !             8: \item Kerberos authenticated: this mode should be used if your domain has
        !             9: a central Kerberos-based authentication system. Your system should have been 
        !            10: configured to fill in the correct Kerberos domain and version.
        !            11: \item Internally authenticated: LON-CAPA takes care of authenticating the 
        !            12: password internally - in this case, you need to specify the initial password.
        !            13: \item Filesystem authenticated: the underlying operating system takes care
        !            14: of authenticating the user - {\it only use if you know what you are doing.}
        !            15: \item Local authentication - typically used when LON-CAPA is coupled with
        !            16: another system, for example a portal, etc. - 
        !            17: {\it only use if you know what you are doing.}
        !            18: 
        !            19: \end{enumerate}
        !            20: 
        !            21: Only Domain Coordinators can later change passwords and authentication 
        !            22: mechanisms, so these should be carefully chosen.
