HEAD
- Document availability of directory search settings for institutional
directory, and also for LON-CAPA domain directory.
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 username 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 apply either to institutional directory
15: searches or to LON-CAPA domain searches.
16:
17: \begin{enumerate}
18:
19: \item Institutional Directory searches
20:
21: \begin{itemize}
22: \item Set institutional directory searches as available or unavailable in the domain
23: \item Set whether users from other LON-CAPA domains can use the institutional
24: directory search to search for users.
25: \item For searches by users within your domain, you can limit the users
26: who can use institutional directory search based on institutional status
27: \item Set which types of search method - username, last name or last name,first
28: name are allowed for institutional searches
29: \item Set which types of search latitude - exact match, begins with or contains
30: - are allowed.
31: \end{itemize}
32:
33: \item LON-CAPA Domain searches
34:
35: \begin{itemize}
36: \item Set whether accounts within the LON-CAPA domain itself can be searched by
37: users with privileges to add users to a course, or as co-authors, or to a domain.
38: All types of search method and all types of search latitude will be available
39: for LON-CAPA domain searches.
40: \item Set whether users from other domains can search within a LON-CAPA domain.
41: \end{itemize}
42:
43: \end{enumerate}
44:
45: In the case of a {}``contains'' type search at least
46: three characters must be entered by the user as the search term. Searches
47: are case insensitive.
