1.1 ! raeburn 1: \label{Domain_Configuration_InstDirectory_Search}
! 2: LON-CAPA provides a mechanism to search for users by complete username,
! 3: last name, or last name,first name (or fragments of each). Accounts
! 4: within the LON-CAPA domain itself can be searched, or alternatively,
! 5: an institutional directory may be searched, if you are able to implement
! 6: a conduit to directory information to support such searches. This
! 7: will be done by customizing the \&get\_userinfo() routine in localenroll.pm.
! 8: This routine has a dual role in LON-CAPA. Not only will it support
! 9: searches where the user is not excatly known, but it can also be used
! 10: to retrieve institutional records for a specific usernames or student/employee
! 11: ID. This latter mode of use is appropriate when adding a new user
! 12: to LON-CAPA.
! 13:
! 14: Settings for directory searches are:
! 15:
! 16: \begin{itemize}
! 17: \item Set directory searches as available or unavailable in the domain
! 18: \item Set whether users from other LON-CAPA domains can use the institutional
! 19: directory search to search for users. Note: this only applies to institutional
! 20: directory data, users with privileges to add users to a course will
! 21: always be able to search the LON-CAPA user database for other domains.
! 22: \item For searches by users within your domain, you can limit the users
! 23: who can use directory search based on institutional status
! 24: \item Set which types of search method - username, last name or last name,first
! 25: name are allowed for institutional searches
! 26: \item Set which types of search latitude - exact match, begins with or contains
! 27: - are allowed
! 28: \end{itemize}
! 29: In the case of a \char`\"{}contains\char`\"{} type search at least
! 30: three characters must be entered by the user as the search term. Searches
! 31: are case insensitive.
