    2: 
    3: People are authenticated with a standard username and password scheme.
    4: LON-CAPA ships with support for the following authentication scheme:
    5: 
    6: \begin{enumerate}
    7: \item Internally authenticated: LON-CAPA specific passwords, choose this when in doubt. 
    8: \item System authentication: authentication using the UNIX authentication scheme on the server.  
    9: \item Kerberos authenticated: authentication based on either a Kerberos 4 or 5 server. 
   10: \item External authentication: custom authentication integrated with an authentication server other than Kerberos (e.g. LDAP).
   11: \end{enumerate}
   12: 
   13: If the student or user you are adding to LON-CAPA will be using the same account as another system (e.g. email), then your system administrator can tell you which authentication type you should choose.  If you are creating a user that is unique only to LON-CAPA, then select ``internally authenticated''.
