1.1 raeburn 1: \label{Domain_Configuration_Contact_Info}
2: LON-CAPA will send automatic e-mail to administrators/support staff
3: under certain circumstances. The contact information data table can
4: be used to provide e-mail addresses for receipt of these e-mails and
5: to configure which types of e-mail should be sent to each address.
6:
7: The types of e-mail are:
8:
9: \begin{itemize}
10: \item Error reports - whenever a server encounters a 500 error (Internal
11: Server Error), Apache will handle that event by displaying an error
12: report form which the affected user can complete and submit. The submission,
13: which contains session information besides any information provided
14: by the user, will be sent as an e-mail.
15: \item Package update alerts - the CHECKRPMS script run every other day will
16: generate e-mail if it detects that package updates are needed.
17: \item Helpdesk requests - clicking the Help link displayed at the right
18: side of the inline navigation bar at the top of a LON-CAPA page (unless
19: the Remote Control is active) will display a Help Menu which includes
20: an \char`\"{}Ask helpdesk\char`\"{} link. The \char`\"{}Ask helpdesk\char`\"{}
21: link provides access to a web form which a user will complete and
22: submit to request LON-CAPA support. The submission, which contains
23: information about the user's browser, besides information provided
24: by the user, will be sent as an e-mail.
1.3 ! raeburn 25: \item Module integrity alerts and new LON-CAPA releases - a nightly process
! 26: compares checksums for LON-CAPA modules installed for your current release
! 27: with the expected values for that release retrieved from one of the Academic
! 28: Consortium servers (if your server is part of the LON-CAPA network).
! 29: An alert is sent if checksums or versions don't match, or if a new LON-CAPA
! 30: version has been announced.
! 31: \item Alerts for users sharing the same student/employee ID - a script is
! 32: run every other night to check for use of the same student/employee ID by
! 33: multiple users in your domain. In LON-CAPA, a username must be unique,
! 34: and it is also recommended that student/employee IDs are unique.

1.2 bisitz 36: Definition of the default Admin e-mail address and the default Support
37: e-mail address saved from the {}``Contact Information'' screen supercede
1.1 raeburn 38: any definitions made when ./UPDATE is run to update to a new version
39: of LON-CAPA. Addresses entered the first time ./UPDATE was run on
40: the primary library server for the domain (i.e., when LON-CAPA was
41: first installed) will continue to apply until the first \char`\"{}Save\char`\"{}
1.3 ! raeburn 42: of the Contact Information settings has occurred in the domain.
! 43:
! 44: Two additional settings allow you to indicate whether error reports should be
! 45: sent to the LON-CAPA developers at Michigan State University (as well as to the
! 46: recipients selected in your domain), and the same for an e-mail reporting a
! 47: completed upgrade to a new LON-CAPA version. The default is to send both types of
! 48: e-mail to the developers.
