Updating Course Manual chapter 7.
\label{Authentication}
People are authenticated with a standard username and password scheme.
LON-CAPA ships with support for the following authentication scheme:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Internally authenticated: LON-CAPA specific passwords, choose this when in doubt.
\item System authentication: authentication using the UNIX authentication scheme on the server.
\item Kerberos authenticated: authentication based on either a Kerberos 4 or 5 server.
\item External authentication: custom authentication integrated with an authentication server other than Kerberos (e.g. LDAP).
\end{enumerate}
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."
